Manhattan is just one of New York’s five boroughs, each of which has its own unique attractions. Brooklyn alone, with its fine brownstone neighborhoods and numerous top-class sights, would be one of the largest cities in the U.S. The Bronx, to the north, boasts one of New York’s finest zoos, plus the New York Botanical Garden and Yankee Stadium, while Queens, a veritable melting pot of nationalities, is famous for its museums, ethnic dining, and numerous sports events. The ferry to Staten Island leads to New York’s only restored historic village.

  • A riverside boardwalk with fantastic views of the Manhattan skyline.

  • Make a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge worth while by going for the best ever cheesecake in Juniors at Cheesecake Corner. Cheesecake Corner is on the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and DeKalb Avenue in Brooklyn, dedicated Harry Rosen Way after the founder of Junior's Restaurant. It’s legendary cheesecakes are one of the tastes that make New York what it is today.

  • A must for lovers of urban transport everywhere, this museum is housed in what used to be Court Street subway station in Brooklyn, which is still connected to the network and theoretically a working station. http://www.mta.info/mta/museum/

  • The River Cafe

    Fabulous restaurant with fairly pricey European food. Excellent views of the city from the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge.
