This is takeout and might not look like much- but the food is so hearty and delicious it’s addictive.

Ok first of all, Vanderbilt Ave has a slew of amazing restaurants and a major outdoor scene with lights and a carnival like atmosphere, so you might just want to walk over and pick out a bar/restaurant. Put on an outfit you feel great in and enjoy the feast of faces from all over the world and all walks of life.
But Olmsted is a real foodie prize and I would definitely make a reservation if I wanted to be sure to get in. Bring you appetite!

Neighborhoods
There are so many places to see that I decided not to overwhelm with too many options, knowing that your time here is limited, and focus instead on the absolute “must not miss”. These are also very easy destinations that don’t involve a lot of complicated directions etc.
You can easily walk through Bed-Sty from here. Most impressive are the beautiful brownstones, many preserved perfectly with original details. If you are a fan of architecture, and have sturdy legs snd a good pair of walking shoes- you can cover a lot of territory, by simply walking out the door!

Prospect Heights
Another great walking neighborhood to get lost in.
You will likely need to take a subway here, so download Citymapper or another app to make your way to DUMBO. Walk along the astonishingly beautiful waterside park, watch the traffic of working boats going back and forth, see the skyline of NYC and don’t forget to walk across the Brooklyn bridge!

Ok I have no idea why people come from all over the world to take this picture, but they do. I used to live on this street corner, with a balcony overlooking the intersection, and on beautiful days the intersection would become crowded with throngs of people taking this exact photo. In my opinion- there are better views, but what the heck- might as well join in.
