City advice
Don't miss
Walking tour & shopping in Brooklyn.
Use Uber for Brooklyn travel. If you would like to walk through the heart of Brooklyn and do some shopping I recommend you start at the Lafayette Ave Station on Fulton Street and walk west. There are many shops and restaurants here. When you hit Flatbush Avenue if you continue on there is a large shopping complex called City Point. The Alamo Drafthouse movie theater is in there. The Barclays Center and BAM theater house are also close by. Prospect Park is also a great outdoor place to relax. The neighborhood, Park Slope has beautiful 19th century brownstones along the park and great dining.
