Hey, folks.

What's some cool stuff to do in Brooklyn?  I haven't set foot over there yet, and I want to poke around.

Thanks!

Go to Coney Island where you can:
visit the  NY aquarium
hang out at the beach/boardwalk
eat at Nathan's Hot Dog
Ride on a roller coaster and some other rides (Astroland)
attend a minor league baseball game (Brooklyn Cyclones, apart of the Mets farm system)

Other places to go in Brooklyn:

Brooklyn Brewery (www.brooklynbrewery.com)
Brooklyn Botanical Garden (www.bbg.org)
Prospect Park - Brooklyn's version of Central Park

Eat at Junior's Restaurant and have a piece of their famous cheese cake for dessert, also buy a whole cheese cake to go and share it with your female neighbors at your dorm.  Women love great tasting cheese cake.

Hope that helps!

I keep hearing about Junior's from everyone.  It must be awesome.  I think that will be my destination in Brooklyn--after the the boardwalk.  I didn't do that yesterday, because I was pretty beat when I finally got back to my apartment yesterday.

+1 on Juniors' cheesecake.  Suprisingly, the recipe was in the NYT food section many years back.  It is nice to be able to make it at home when not in Brooklyn.
