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.
