"Perfection for a lazy summer/spring/fall day: go to Turkey's Nest and get a to-go cup of some cheap ol' American beer or a margarita. Then walk about the hood and get your buzz on on the DL."

"Sporting an unencumbered panoramic view of the city, this crown jewel park also features the (relocated as of last summer) Pool Parties. Pick up eats on the way at Bedford Cheese Shop."

"Marina Ambramovic - The Artist is Present. If you're into performance art, happenings, or stuff that originated in Yugoslavia, this is a show for you."

"F to York -> Walk north away from the throngs of folks in Dumbo proper to discover Vinegar Hill, maybe the only NY hoods that could be called a hamlet. Then fill yo belly with scrumptious food/drink."

"Go to the Museum of the City of New York and then pop over here for a few hours to read in the shade, smell some wild flowers, walk around the labyrinth, or feel like you're in Paris."
