Things to do in Brooklyn, New York (NY): The Best Shopping
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.
Restaurants in Brooklyn
1. Eugene J. Candy Co.
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Eugene’s is a most peculiar, Halloween-themed candy store in the heart of Bushwick in Brooklyn, NY. It carries an assortment of bulk candy, specialty chocolates, nostalgic favorites, and fun novelty — all served with a dash of macabre. The odd little shop also exclusively makes the candies of Wonka’s enemy, Fickelgruber (FG.). Called FG. Freaks, the hard candies are suspiciously similar to Wonka Nerds in construction but many times bigger in size. The candy store was opened in March 2016 by a chemical engineer who had toiled away with candy-making much of his life. With ambitions to innovate and manufacture on a grander scale, the store is just the very beginning of this fairytale story. Current products and experiments revolve around panning — a process of putting a candy shell on just about anything.
