Brooklyn's iconic waterfront has the most unsurpassed views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, and The Statue of Liberty. Old fashioned yet chic and trendy, Dumbo's (District Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) plentiful boutique shops, fine dining, and art scene bring together the most spectacular melting pot of culture.

Ride the historic carousel while wandering along the quaint cobblestone streets or enjoy New York's finest pizza as you take in the waterfront views.

Lobster Roll recipe inspired by Brooklyn: 

- Fresh rolls (toasted & buttered)

- Fresh lobster meat

- A little mayo

- Salt and pepper to taste 

- Finely diced celery (optional)

Keep it simple and fresh, serve with a sparkling rosé such as Michel Freres (seen in above picture)

Some potato chips and pickles on the side
