Try Frankies Spuntino, Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli's casual Italian eatery at 457 Court St. Fresh, seasonally inspired food. Fettucine and fava beans, mmmmm.
Check out Love Letter to Brooklyn, an installation by graffiti artist Steve Powers (aka ESPO) on the ugly Macy's parking garage on Livingston & Hoyt in Brooklyn Heights.
Greenwood Cemetery — A fun place (??!!) where you can visit the graves of copper magnate Marcus Daly, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, passengers aboard the Titanic, and actress/mistress of the mighty Lola Montez, among many others.
