Viva Brooklyn! If you haven't visited recently (or if you've never been) you may have missed out on the incredible diversity of art, culture, dining, entertainment and more that has developed across the East River from NYC's traditional center of gravity in Manhattan. While you're here for the Bat Mitzvah, maybe you can also check out some of our other top attractions. - Catch the NBA's Brooklyn Nets taking on the Dallas Mavericks, Friday night at the Barclays Center.
- Weather permitting, tour the historic Green-Wood Cemetery or walk across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge
- Absorb some culture at the Brooklyn Museum, the Mark Morris Dance Group or the Brooklyn Academy of Music
- For the kids, the Brooklyn Children's Museum is a treat; or get a move on at the underground New York Transit Museum, housed in a real subway station
- Learn about the history of industrial and military Brooklyn at Building 92, the home of the Brooklyn Navy Yard museum
- Roll a few frames at Maple Lanes in Sunset Park
- Stretch your legs (and arms!) at Brooklyn Boulders, NYC's gigantic indoor rock climbing gym
- Go blue at Coney Island's NY Aquarium or go wild at the Prospect Park Zoo
- Shop 'till you drop at the indoor Brooklyn Flea/Smorgasburg, tony Williamsburg boutiques, chic DUMBO storefronts or classy Atlantic Avenue antiques.
- Eat, eat, eat! Enjoy thousands of restaurant choices, including the best steak in North America. We recommend downloading the Yelp or Foursquare smartphone apps for local recommendations. (Is the best pizza from Di Fara or Grimaldi's? Only you can decide.)
