Urban, bold, and energetic, downtown Brooklyn isn’t all business. Alongside the towering office buildings and Brooklyn Borough Hall, the busy neighborhood sports brownstones, tree-lined streets, college campuses, and Michelin-starred restaurants. For shopping, try the outdoor Fulton Street Mall—and don’t miss MetroTech Commons for live entertainment and art installations. Superfans catch pro hockey and basketball at Barclays Center in Downtown Brooklyn and then visit the local hot spots for drinks and gatherings.
