Brooklyn Airfares

By Lynne Christen

The historic borough of Brooklyn boasts a bounty of surprises for Big Apple travelers. Only minutes by subway from Broadway Theaters and the excitement of Times Square, Brooklyn is a welcome respite from crowds and high cost of staying in Manhattan. Rest assured; Brooklyn is not boring. Diverse neighborhoods offer an ethnic and cultural trip round the world. Sample hip and artsy Williamsburg, a Hasidic neighborhood where Yiddish is still the primary language, Brighton Beach’s Russian enclave or an Italian area where the heady aroma of garlic pasta tempts the taste buds. Visit the Brooklyn Museum, one of the oldest and largest museums in the country. Enjoy a night of music at BargeMusic, Brooklyn’s floating concert hall. Prospect Park Zoo and nearby Coney Island with its amusement park and New York Aquarium promise plenty of fun for the young and young-at-heart. And, no trip to Brooklyn is complete without a stroll across the historic Brooklyn Bridge at sunset when city lights come to life. Go!
