Hidden gem for the best authentic deli sandwich - there's always a queue (but it's worth the wait). Turkey pastrami is my fave, don't forget the sweet peppers, and say yes to the oil and vinegar at the end.

The Brooklyn version of Central Park. Start at Grand Army Plaza to see the beautiful entrance to the Brooklyn library, then wander through the park. Families will head there for sledding when it's been snowing. Great for picnics and sports in the summer.

Wander through Williamsburg for great coffee, food and shopping, then up through McCarren park to catch the Nassau Ave 'G' train back home. In summer it's full of young families and the 'hipsters' that Williamsburg is known for, as well as baseball games. There is good coffee and food all around the park, too.

Technically the 'gay area', with classic bars such as the historical Stonewall Inn. But there are many bars and places to eat to explore, in a peaceful yet happening suburb. Greenwich Village, also known as 'the Village' is great to wander around.
