Things to do in Brooklyn, New York (NY): The Best Nightlife
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

On a visit to New York my daughter dragged me to Brooklyn in the pouring rain for a Mother's Day surprise. We walked into a laundromat with a bunch of pinball machines which immediately made me happy (I love pinball.) THEN she walked to the back of the laundromat and opened a fake dryer and lead me into two rooms of pinball machines and a bar! A ton of board games were available with high tables to play them on and just sit and down your brew. The bartender and other patrons were super friendly. The back room has a skylight roof making it a perfect place to play and watch the nasty weather overhead. Definitely a hidden gem and worth the trip to Brooklyn.
