When you're checking out the sights of Brooklyn, be sure to spend some time at Prospect Park. The beautiful park occupies 585 acres and boasts a sprawling 90-acre meadow, aptly named Long Meadow, man-made waterways and lakes, the Prospect Park Zoo, a boathouse for Brooklyn's only lake, facilities for a variety of sports and the Prospect Park Bandshell concert venue. Musicians like Modest Mouse, Emmylou Harris and Bob Dylan have played at the venue, so keep an eye on the park's calendar because you never know when your favorite singer may take the stage.
See all of iconic Central Park from the seat of your bicycle on a Central Park Bike Tours. Rent a bike and set out on your own or discover the city on a guided tour, whichever you choose, you'll have the opportunity to see sights throughout the city like Times Square, Harlem, Ground Zero, Greenwich, Battery Park, Brooklyn, and much more.
