Parks & Nature

Just across the street, it boasts a full recreation center (including public pool, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, and volleyball nets) and rolling green hills for flying kites and picnics. You'll want to catch the sunset and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty.

Free entry on Saturday mornings before noon! And a much closer commute than the trek to the NYC Botanical Garden in the Bronx.

Entertainment & Activities

A massive 6 block innovation lab and creative workspace, it features great eats, a distillery (also with sweeping views of the city), and frequent events like a vintage fashion fair and artist open studios that are open to the public. Definitely check the website for events during your stay.

Food Scene

A bakery situated just across the street from the Green-Wood Cemetery entrance. Buy fresh breads, doughnuts and other sweet treats, as well as breakfast and lunch items.

Order from a menu of hundreds of made-on-the-spot juices for every mood and malady. Also known for it's wide range of tortas (though I also recommend their tostadas).

Raved about for having "the best tacos in NYC." They have a restaurant (on 4th Ave), but you'll want to hit up their taco truck (on 5th Ave and 37th St, just down the street from the apartment) for the full experience. Get a full meal for under $10, easy.

Dumplings, noodle soup, scallion pancakes. Just a quick walk through Sunset Park. Even with Chinese restaurants on every corner, this is still a favorite. It's a bit of a hole in the wall, but super authentic.
