So maybe you will always be upset that you never got to see Studio 54 at its prime, but worry not, C’mon Everybody is the bar-lounge that will make you forget all that.

Parks & Nature
One of Brooklyn’s first parks, Herbert Von King Park is the perfect place to spend a Sunday morning. Aside from the green landscape, the park provides fitness equipment, a baseball field, a recreation center, and an indoor dance studio. For a more relaxing time, an outdoor amphitheater provides the neighborhood with free concerts and artistic performances. If you love the outdoors, spend a day visiting some of NYC’s other beautiful parks as well!
