Brooklyn: Classic Charms and Modern Hotspots

Brooklyn is a beast of a borough to explore, and it’s filled with all kinds of cool neighborhoods worth your time, including Red Hook, Greenpoint, and Williamsburg. Our picks include places for classic New York staples like bagels and pizza, but we’ll also visit a sandwich shop that’s more than a century old, eat a couple city- favorite burgers, get some delicious pastries, and leave plenty of time for coffee and cocktails. We like to stay in downtown Brooklyn, where you’ll find a number of hotels, since it’s convenient for exploring the borough. Let’s go explore what makes Brooklyn special.
