Explore NYC: Neighborhood Fact Sheet

Brooklyn is becoming one of New York Citys most popular destinations. Recent hotel development in the downtown area makes it easy for visitors to enjoy the many cultural institutions, shops and restaurants within fashionable nearby neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights, BoCoCa (Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens), DUMBO, Fort Greene, Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Williamsburg. Highlights include Brooklyn Bridge Park, with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline from its waterfront promenade; Janes Carousel; and seasonal water taxi service, as well Prospect Park, a 585-acre playground in the heart of Brooklyn. And while Brooklyn has certainly established itself as a place to be on its own, easy access to and from Manhattan is a great convenience, too.
