Skip breakfast. Bring an appetite to try all sorts of grub. Persuade a bunch of friends to try different tents and sample. Eat in the waterfront park next door & relax and get s'mores if it's chilly.
Quick walk from Smorgasburg. If you're a music nerd, get there around ~5 and catch the soundcheck for the evening performer. Come back Thursday pm for Soul Train w/ Questlove. AWESOME venue for shows
Fun place to pop in for a drink, especially if you're waiting for a lane at Brooklyn Bowl next door. Skip the tour, buy a koozie.
Split a set of golfballs and go to an irons floor (top level). It's fun to hit into the water and it's a quick enough activity that you can bring out-of-towners for visit & they get a story.
I religiously end a walk down The Highline with a beer here. Fun atmosphere. Get a photo in the booth downstairs and spring for a pretzel.
Great for the view - good to take out-of-towners so you can explain the layout of the city over a drink. Best time is sunset.
Incredible atmosphere - looks like the bar is inside of Christmas Tree. Come for the photos and a drink.
You HAVE to go here. Pastrami sandwich, mustard. That's it. Bring cash ($15/sandwich) and split a sandwich if you're not starving. It's amazing. AMAZING. And ppl love the Harry Met Sally thing.
Go on Sunday for ASSCAT3000. You'll likely see some former SNL cast members and a rotating cast of recognizable writers/actors performing. Get tickets online the week before.
