If I'm bored and haven't really explored Brooklyn at all, and just wanted to walk around for a day tomorrow with my camera, where should I go and what should I do?

    When I explorer an area I sometimes like to look at google maps simply to see what is near me. Sometimes I spot something and think "oh that looks cool!"

    Williamsburg
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamsburg,_Brooklyn
    Hit up the L train and get off Bedford Ave, or near there on a different train.
    Indie capital of NYC.
    Bonus points if you go watch a concert at McCarren Pool (not really a pool anymore)

    Fulton St Mall and Downtown Brooklyn
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_Mall
    Interesting diverse parts of Brooklyn

    Coney Island
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island
    They got rid of the amusement park D:
    But they still have the Cyclone and the baseball stadium

    Floyd Bennett Field
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Bennett_Field
    Old airplane airfield. Got some cool hangars there.
    Good spot to go fishing too, and other field things.

    Brooklyn Heights
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Heights
    Check out the promenade, great view of the Manhattan skyline.
    Perfect place for July 4th fireworks, and an awesome neighborhood.

    Marine Park
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Park,_Brooklyn
    They got a salt marsh next door? It's a nice quiet field, with a nice walking trail.
    I really just put this in the list cuz I grew up nearby.


    EDIT: Wow, I haven't really thought about what was in Brooklyn for some while.
    I'm sure there are more spots, but those are the ones that I enjoy the most.

    Sweet. Obviously didn't see your post for today (didn't go to Brooklyn anyway, went to some museums on 5th Ave and then hung around Central Park), but maybe next week or after.

    Try to avoid getting stabbed.


    Also, Williamsburg is pretty rad.

    When I was there a month ago I went to Barcade... which was awesome. A bar with a ton of classic arcade machines to play.... if you're looking for something to do at night, that is.
