Sunday Brunch-Who needs Manhattan when you've got Brooklyn?!?

Cheap, yummy and just a subway ride away! 10 best Brooklyn brunch spots . Walk off all that Benedict sauce and bacon with a stroll in one of Brooklyn's many parks. Your options:  Prospect Park, less manicured than Central Park but very user-friendly,  Brooklyn Bridge Park with its picture postcard view of Lower Manhattan, or McCarren Park, "hipster' heaven and ideal for chillin' and people-watchin'.

a garden path where the elevated train line once ran


The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated, steel structure built in the 1930s to carry freight trains. When the High Line was built in the 1930s, these neighborhoods were dominated by industrial and transportation uses. These elevated tracks are no longer used in an industrial manner but instead are being transformed into a pathway with beautiful flowers and views of the Hudson river.  http://www.thehighline.org/
