Janes Carousel, St. Annes Warehouse, great shopping and food and beautiful water-front views. Walk through Brooklyn bridge park and find yourself at the waterfront food stalls, and walk a little further to the carousel. Catch a show at St. Annes if you can, or walk through the shopping and restaurant district. There's a great rooftop bar at Harriet's for even better views.

BAM, Dekalb Market, Greenlight Bookstore, Green Grape food and provisions, and Fort Greene park. This part of town has a lot of new architecture, but some of the best brown stone and tree-lined streets and my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn.
