Need Some Suggestions for Going Out Here In Brooklyn!?

Hello everyone!





I know this is pathetic, and my request is ridiculous since I've lived in this borough of Brooklyn my entire life...





but I need ideas to take someone special out in a week.





This is a list of the places we've spent time, a lot or a little:





Greenpoint


Midwood


Downtown Brooklyn


Boerum Hill (all along Atlantic Avenue)


Brooklyn Heights


Brooklyn Promenade


Fulton Ferry landing (and that park between the two bridges)


Dumbo


Park Slope


Grand Army Plaza


Brooklyn Botanical Garden


Children's Museum


Fort Greene


Coney Island





... and that's all I can think of.





He is a Brooklynite just like me but lives in Queens currently and is always busy working, so I want to take the both of us to some wonderful places, never seen before, that we can visit again.





Since we're not tourists, related suggestions are not necessary!





Please contact me if you are all the wiser! I appreciate all of your help.

Okay, it's a little far from where I live, but I'm a Sloper, and you said you've been to Park Slope before, so:





How about walking around the bay in Sheepshead Bay? It's lovely, the fishing boats are neat (they do cruises as well as fishing trips these days, BTW) and there are a few inexpensive fish places with REALLY fresh fish cooked very simply and served on paper plates! (No kidding.) If you like simple, fresh food, it's great!





Then there is the park right near the Verazzanno Bridge in Bay Ridge. It's a lovely park and the view of the Bridge is great!





For something closer to my neck of the woods, there is always Prospect Park - you might want to visit the lake there and the boathouse (now run by the Audobon Society.) You can rent a boat and go out on the lake. Or just walk around - it's a very pretty part of the Park.

Reply:Paul Simon is at BAM right now, and throughout April


* you could go to Juniors on Flatbush Extension for some cheesecake


* or The River Cafe


* even though you have already been to the Botanical Garden, they probably have a beautiful Spring show of flowers
Reply:Hi, try Williamsburg, or Park Slope. either way, a good time can depend on the company, as long as the company is good, it doesn't really matter where you are. You can have a great time if they are nice and open to new ideas, and places.


Try a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge at night.. :-))
