Well, many say that New York City is the city that never sleeps, which is true considering there are a plethora of things to do in the magnificent city. I know that when people say New York City most of us think of Manhattan or Midtown and not so much Brooklyn. Everyone loves the classic trips to Times Square, but, recently I took a trip to Brooklyn and it seems to be the new place to be with lots of fun activities for every age.

The place I visited in Brooklyn is called DUMBO which stands for “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass” with incredible views of the breathtaking skyline. In addition to the views, DUMBO also has St. Ann’s Warehouse which is home to a number of wonderful shows throughout the years. It’s a small cute theater right by the water where you can relax and enjoy a show. There is lots of vibrant wall art also makes this borough so pretty.

The East River Ferry is in Brooklyn, too, which can take you right to Manhattan for some more fun, since a trip to New York City is never complete without spending time in Manhattan.

Of course when traveling, trying different kinds of foods is always a fun activity. I think one of the best parts about Brooklyn is the Smorgasburg. It has more than 100 vendors all day on Saturdays selling lots of homemade yumminess. Not only is this a plus to the Brooklyn experience, but so is the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. You can enjoy their delicious homemade ice cream at the Fulton Landing Pier right by the water.

For those people who enjoy bike riding, Brooklyn offers an awesome bike path, Shore Parkway Greenway, which has amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge. Not to mention, many movies have been filmed in Brooklyn, and many famous actors and actresses were born in Brooklyn. It seems to just be the new and upcoming place to be.
