This was a family walk across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn on a Friday in May.  We had our 5-year-old with us, and all we had to tell him was that the "Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory" was on the other side of the bridge to get him excited for the walk.It was a mellow stroll across the river (and above the cars zooming in both directions), but it was warm and very crowded.

We loved Brooklyn. The brownstones and street layout felt so different from California. The history there was evident - you could smell it. The close proximity of parks, schools, the waterfront, the Bridge and all the action on the river made it an exciting place to be.

I'm not a city person but enjoyed visiting a city near the Big Apple.

Pratt Institute is a Great College for anyone interested in the Arts. My Youngest daughter goes there and she loves it.
