Guidebook for Brooklyn
Arts & Culture
Its not just a local museum, but a very progressive art center! They always had interesting, controversial, surprising exhibitions and would show artists, that other museums wouldn't get involved with. Plus, its right next to the Prospect park and Botanic Garden for a picnic or stroll after art seeing.
**Sometimes they have music nights at the museum (check their web site for events)

I like this coffeeshop partially for the walk to get there. It takes 2 blocks along peaceful tree-lined streets with victorian houses and then you can enjoy your coffee! Good food. Freelancers friendly. Near Newkirk Subway Station that has Q and express B trains

Drinks & Nightlife
Local bar with the garden! Its a super chill place to hang out, meet some Brooklynites, relax after a long day or just have a drink & a long talk with friends in the outside garden.
**Cute thing: the bar operates as a flower shop "Stems" during the day, which was even featured in NY Times as among places to visit in Brooklyn!
