Downtown Brooklyn is a bustling intersection of commercial, civic, and residential life with a mix of prewar buildings and new high rises. Check out a concert or film at the revered Brooklyn Academy of Music, or catch a Brooklyn Nets game at the Barclays center. Get your shopping done at Fulton Mall and indulge yourself in a slice of New York cheesecake from the famous Junior’s. And yes, there is a Trader Joe’s here, so all your cookie butter needs are covered.
