7 Brilliant Things To Do In Brooklyn Heights
One of the most charming neighborhoods in Brooklyn has to be Brooklyn Heights. Bound south from Old Fulton Street to Atlantic Avenue and west from Cadman Plaza/Court Street to the East River, according to the Brooklyn Heights Association, this neighborhood offers everything you could ask for from fantastic bars to waterfront walkways and historic architecture. Here are some of the best things to do while in Brooklyn Heights.
1. Taste our favorite croissant in NYC at L’appartement 4F
We may not be Paris, but man do we have some delicious croissants in the city. One of our personal favorites is Le Framboise from L’appartment 4F. Husband and wife duo, Ashley and Gautier, started their bakery during the height of the pandemic inside their little Brooklyn apartment. Since then, they’ve acquired lines down the block for their first storefront in Brooklyn Heights. Not feeling a croissant? They also offer mouthwatering breads and cookies that you can’t miss. Plus, they have a Manhattan location on the way!

2. Step back in time at the New York Transit Museum
One of the most underrated museums in NYC is the Transit Museum. Here, guests can walk through decommissioned subway cars to get a glimpse into the past. Learn all about the history and evolution of mass transportation in NYC from vintage turnstiles to former city buses.

3. Stroll the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade
On a lovely day, the Brooklyn Bridge Promenade offers a wonderful route to stroll along. Pedestrians can take in a spectacular view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Downtown Manhattan while getting their steps in. Additionally, the path follows along beautiful and historic townhouses for even more charming sights.

Le Boudoir is the place to go for those looking for a sexy night out. Inspired by Marie Antoinette’s chambers, you’ll enter into a salacious space that offers burlesque shows on Friday and Saturday nights at both 9:30pm and 11:30pm. Sip on craft cocktails and enjoy the entertainment that’s sure to woo.

Open since 2007, The Brooklyn Cat Cafe is a Brooklyn Heights staple. Cafe customers are invited to hang out with adorable cats as the volunteer-run adoption center and community space works to rescue homeless cats.

7. Take in skyline views at Fornino
Rooftop and pizza, what’s better than that? At Fornino’s Brooklyn Bridge Park location, you can enjoy wood-fired pizza while the river breeze blows past you. Our favorite pies are the fig and prosciutto or soppressata and truffles.
