Alexandra's Guidebook
Sightseeing
There’s some great street art in Brooklyn you’ll come across just by wondering. If you want to get specific, there are plenty of tour routes online, and tours if you’re into that.
I love planning a morning jog around some of the best art streets

Getting around
Don’t forget Ferries as an option!
In the Summer months taking the ferries is a delight! It’s under $5 a ride so a cheap and easy way to take in Manhattan from a boat
Getting around
J subway - express
The J runs express into Manhattan during morning rush hour, and express outbound in evening rush hour.
