Prospect Heights

Brooklyn

Prospect Heights, with the majestic Prospect Park as its backdrop, is brimming with everything from cultural institutions to delicious dining and shopping options. During the day, enjoy the Brooklyn Museum or visit The Brooklyn Library, and in the evening check out all the sleek wine bars and restaurants that line Vanderbilt Avenue, including Olmsted. If you appreciate under-the-radar spots, you’ll enjoy speakeasy Weather Up which operates in a transformed church. If you must leave – and its easy with its proximity to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn – make sure you scoop up some ice cream from Ample Hills, arguably one of the best ice cream shops in NYC.
