If this is your first time coming to Brooklyn, you would be remiss not to visit a little bit in your free time! Design*sponge has a great Brooklyn Design guide for you to check out, but here are some other places we recommend stopping by.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden - April means Cherry Blossoms, so definitely check this place out! Its an amazing feeling being rained on by pink petals.
Brooklyn Museum - right next door to the Botanic Garden.
Brooklyn Heights Promenade - wonderful views of the Statue of Liberty, Governor's Island, and oh yeah, Manhattan.
Smith St. - great restaurants and shops. Grab dinner at Char No. 4.
Williamsburg - what the Lower East Side USED to be.
DUMBO - we'll be spending most of Saturday here, but if you get a chance, grab a slice at Grimaldi's, eat some awesome tacos and guac at Hecho en Dumbo, or drink amazing hot chocolate at Jacques Torres. Even hop the Water Taxi across the river.
Shopping - NY Magazine's Brooklyn guide is a great place to start.
If you're going to Grimaldi's prepare to be online for over an hour, so wear comfy shoes. And if you do decide to wait on the line, swing by the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory a block away at the ferry/pier for some delicious ice cream. I recommend the butter pecan.
