Robert Mapplethorpe, Self Portrait, 1980. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Gift, The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation 93.4289. © Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation. Used by permission.

Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, who died 30 years ago of complications from AIDS, is the subject of impliCit tensions: mappletHorpe now, now showing the first installment of a two-part retrospective at the Solomon r. guggenHeim muSeum. Mapplethorpe is known not just for his images, but for the controversies they incited. In 1989, after his death, his work became the centerpiece of a national debate about artistic censorship and what kinds of works public funds should cover (ironically, it was the debate that led to his widespread fame). Many of the images are graphic and retain the ability to cause discomfort, but time has lessened the shock; it has also brought to the forefront Mapplethorpe’s technical proficiency and his ability to capture deeply insightful looks at his subjects. Part one closes July 10th; the second part, which looks at Mapplethorpe’s complex legacy in the field of contemporary art, opens on July 24th. Take advantage of summer Tuesdays—the museum stays open until 8pm! 1071 Fifth Ave. (89th St.), 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org

The Cooper Hewitt, SmitHSonian DeSign muSeum introduces the world of design in the masterpiece that is Carnegie Mansion. Thursday evenings in summer, the museum’s popular performance series CoCktails at Cooper Hewitt takes over the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden.

When you’re ready for a break from the city, nJ transit has you covered. Their super-convenient routes can deliver you to some of the best getaways in the Garden State. Look for discount packages all summer, like up to $40 in savings on a six flags great adventure & safari or hurricane harBor combo that includes admission and round-trip transportation. Also on the list are transportation/ admissions to Monmouth Park Racetrack and some of the best beaches of the Jersey Shore. 973-275-5555, njtransit.com

Sometimes a show for kids hits all the right notes: good concept (check); cool actors (check); interaction (check); fun music (check, check, check). But once in a very blue—probably cerulean or cobalt—moon comes a production like PIP’S ISlaNd: The lIGhThOuSe ReSCue. This new immersive theater experience for young audiences offers all of the above and umpteen more check marks...check marks that let loose 21st-century pop culture goodies (graphic novels, web series, escape rooms, video games, etc.) and toss in live actors, a propulsive storyline, and creative problem solving. 400 W. 42nd St. (Ninth Ave.), 212-609-1372, pipsisland.com

Cover Story New York Rolls Out the Rainbow Carpet for WorldPride

New York City’s Pride celebration goes global this year with WorldPride, the LGBTQ festival that every few years gathers people from around the world in solidarity, celebration, and activism. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, considered the birth of the modern LGBTQ movement, which took place in New York’s West Village in June, 1969. Millions are expected for the annual Pride March at the end of the month, but NYC is already rolling out the rainbow carpet, with specials and commemorative exhibitions all across the city. Brooklyn has become a tourist destination to rival Manhattan, complete with its own world-class institution: the Brooklyn Museum. Just 20 minutes from Manhattan you’ll find rotating exhibitions like this summer’s Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall. This moving show features the work of 22 contemporary LGBTQ artists working in New York. Their paintings, drawings, sculpture, film, and installation comment on the LGBTQ rights movement, its early participants, its progress, and the human lives the movement represents. The Village Voice work of photographer Fred W. McDarrah captured the culture and politics of ‘60s and ‘70s New York. PRIDE: Photographs of Stonewall and Beyond by Fred W. McDarrah, now on display at the Museum of the City of New York, highlights McDarrah’s images of the initial Stonewall Uprising, plus Pride marches, protests,

32 www.cityguideny.com

and public events, and portraits of significant figures in the LGBTQ rights movement. The Morgan Library & Museum was built in 1906 for financier J. Pierpont Morgan. Today, the museum is home to an exquisite collection of manuscripts, rare books, music, drawings, and works of art which provide a dynamic record of civilization. Currently on display is Walt Whitman: Bard of Democracy, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the poet’s birth (he was raised locally, in Brooklyn and Long Island, in humble circumstances). The show uses rare original materials, including several of Whitman’s own notebooks, to illuminate the process of self-invention. When you’re ready for some refreshment, look to local favorite Heartland Brewery. From three convenient locations in midtown (including spin-off HB Burger), Heartland Brewery offers handcrafted beers and hearty American cuisine. The relaxing, casual atmosphere is perfect for pre-theater lunch and dinner or a great place to take a break before tackling Times Square or climbing the Empire State Building. Order a WorldPride Pilsner and Heartland will donate $1 of every pint to Heritage of Pride. Beloved Asian fusion restaurant wagamama is partnering with the “It Gets Better Project” as a part of their “love every bun” initiative. Throughout June, every bun order at all 5 locations in NYC and Boston will produce a donation to help teens around the world navigate their sexual orientation

and/or gender identity. You can go on an immersive adventure beneath the seas, from the South Pacific to California, with National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey. Groundbreaking technology at this Times Square attraction doesn’t take animals from their homes, transporting you instead with stunning photorealistic animation of rare moments in nature. Throughout June, Encounter is offering a discount “Rainbow Family Fun Pack”; Encounter will also be donating free admission tickets to the Hetrick-Martin Institute (HMI), which will provide local LGBTQ youth the opportunity to visit Encounter. On Friday, June 28th, there will be a free Stonewall 50 Commemoration. In the spirit of the Gay Power rally after Stonewall in 1969, this show of solidarity will commemorate that historic uprising as demonstrators

and speakers lead the call for human rights and civil rights. Saturday and Sunday, Pride Island takes the Pride experience to Pier 97 on the banks of the Hudson River for a two-day musical extravaganza. Madonna and Grace Jones are among the headliners. On Sunday, June 30th, everything culimates with the Pride March, featuring hundreds of floats and marching contingents. The 2019 Grand Marshals are cast members from POSE, UK Black Pride’s Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, the Gay Liberation Front, The Trevor Project, and transgender activist Monica Helms. That night, join the crowd in Times Square for the WorldPride Closing Ceremony. Starting at 7pm, look for an all-star lineup that includes Melissa Etheridge, Margaret Cho, Jake Shears, MNEK, Deborah Cox, and the cast of Broadway hit The Prom.

The LBGTQ events and resources experts at Metrosource have teamed up with City Guide to create a WorldPride print guide, available in city hotels and key tourist areas. For all the latest, visit our dedicated website, metrosource.com/worldprideguide.

NatioNal September 11 memorial & muSeum See all of New York and beyond from the incomparable heights of One World Observatory. There’s only one tallest. Only one strongest. And only one destination selected as the Best New Attraction in the World. These superlatives belong to One World Trade Center, and its pinnacle, the one World observatory, rising over 100 stories in the sky. With an attraction this popular, OWO’s alltimed-entry system is a major advantage. Computerized ticketing ensures wait times are always kept manageable. You can buy your ticket on the spot, or in advance online. You’ll see some fast facts as you make your way to the elevators, confirming the superlatives: at 1,776 feet, One World Trade is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere; with over 40,000 metric tons of steel and a unique concrete core, it’s the strongest building in the world. After a minute’s ride and a short video, you’ll hit the Discovery Level (the main observatory), with 360° sights of the city and beyond. It’s all here, from the rivers to the harbor, from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building. Jersey and Queens recede in distant horizons. Helicopters zip by like hummingbirds, well below the floor-to-ceiling windows. The skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan—some of which once claimed title to the tallest building in the world—cluster below your feet like toys. Observatory hours daily are 8am-10pm, with the last ticket sale at 8:45pm. General admission is $35, but this summer there are great package deals like VIP tours and ONE Dine PRE-FIXE specials, where you can enjoy multicourse lunches and dinners accompanied by the greatest views in the world.

Buzzalicious Theatre Here (NYC) & Now (WorldPride) By GRIFFIN MILLER

Deen van Meer

Après the Tonys…Thrill? Relief? Letdown? Opportunity? The latter, of course, has much to do with taking on uncharted Broadway by scoring tickets to the 2019-2020 season’s first wave of shows.

Audra McDonald and Michael Shannon embrace a Frankie and Johnny revival. Of these, only one has officially opened: Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, a formidable revival of Terrence McNally’s 1987 play about a waitress and a short-order cook whose first date unfolds from candid sex into a poetic revelation, to both them and the voyeuristic “us,” as we pass nightinto-morning in Frankie’s depressing studio apartment. As the two actors—six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald as Frankie and two-time Oscar nominee Michael Shannon as Johnny—unpack their middle-aged characters’ baggage, vulnerabilities, and tender pin-pricks of hope, the radio becomes an episodic backdrop of classical music, in particular Debussy’s wistful piano composition, “Clair de Lune” (moonlight). The chemistry between McDonald and Shannon runs from quirky to beautiful and despite its vintage pedigree (its original OffBroadway run starred Kathy Bates and F. Murray Abraham), the show still resonates through a kind of universal emotional

@cityguideny

core. And no, McDonald doesn’t sing…but this first arrival on the new season scene absolutely does. Broadway’s second arrival is a musical—explosive, dark, romantic, and French with an iconic exclamation point. Based on Baz Luhrmann’s groundbreaking 2001 film, Moulin Rouge! The Musical’s preview starts June 28th (official opening July 25th) having sparked acclaim during its record-breaking run in Boston. Taking over the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, Moulin Rouge! boasts a primo list of Tony winners and nominees, including actors Karen Olivo, Danny Burstein, Sahr Ngaujah, and director Alex Timbers. Joining them are leading man Aaron Tveit, leading villain Tam Mutu, and leading Latin lover Ricky Rojas. As for the music, expect songs from the movie as well as a smattering of more recent hits. Checking in on a couple long-running Broadway shows that recently announced noteworthy cast changes: at Beautiful, three-time Grammy Award-nominated singer/ songwriter Vanessa Carlton (“A Thousand Miles”) is taking on the lead role of Carole King for 10 weeks beginning June 27th. In this, her Broadway debut, Carlton will be thrilling fans with her take on such King classics as “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” and “Natural Woman.” Erich Bergen recently returned to the company of Waitress as Dr. Pomatter. The versatile actor—who played Bob Gaudio in the film version of Jersey Boys—is known for playing Blake Moran on the CBS drama Madam Secretary. Meanwhile, Bergen’s costar, Shoshana Bean, has extended her run as pie-baking mom-to-be Jenna through July 7th. (Bean’s latest album, “Spectrum,” just placed #1 on the Billboard jazz charts.) On the Off-Broadway front, there’s a new arrival well worth checking out: the wildly fabulous jukebox musical Rock of Ages, which catapults audiences back to the 1980s rock scene. Last seen here during its six-year Broadway run, during which it broke the Helen Hayes Theatre’s box office record 10 times, the show offers a score comprised of

REvIEWER’S BEAT: THE IMBIBLE AND DAY DRINKING

Entering the intimate Green Room bar at New World Stages—setting for both The Imbible: A Spirited History of Drinking and Day Drinking: The Brunch Musical—means shedding the world outside and giving yourself over to a sparkling young cast who know their way around mixology, comedy, history, and a fast costume change. (And seemingly spontaneous a cappella harmonies.) Will you catch every nuance behind Imbible bartender Ben Young III’s verbal tap dance through 10,000 years as he spins the history and science behind getting sloshed? No, but you’ll enjoy the ride through his facts and figures (yes, there are visual aids). Imbible is the kind of show you didn’t know you needed until you’re tucked into a table watching spirits distill and jettisoning your inhibitions via libations (a shandy followed by an old fashioned and topped off with a refreshing gin and tonic). As for Day Drinking, I suggest gathering your favorite posse and taking full advantage of the sociable ambience as you belly up to the Bloody Mary Bar and create a whole new genus of quaffery. Clamato juice? Whisky? Cheese cube garnish? Why not—it’s

the weekend. And while this afternoon version has its players assuming the roles of friends struggling to make time for brunch, you’ll definitely pick up a tip or three (hint: “umami” will become part your vocabulary). Above and beyond your average musical comedy, this one comes laced with Irish coffee and a Bellini. And there’s no need to leave non-drinkers at home…soft drinks and some virgin versions can be substituted. Cheers!

Raise a glass to The Imbible: A Spirited History of Drinking.

Taste of the Town

World-Class Ramen Comes to Times Square BY Merrill lee Girardeau World-class ramen has a new home in Times Square. After smash successes in New York with locations in Brooklyn and Herald Square, the new Ichiran Times Square has debuted its signature tonkotsu. In addition to the main dining room, this new location features a downstairs space which accommodates up to 105 people in private dining booths.

This is the 81st location of Ichiran in the world; the first opened in 1960 in Fukuoka, Japan. The original location’s chic midcentury aesthetics remain a key feature of each Ichiran restaurant, while the ramen recipe has been developed across the decades to perfection. Ichiran is distinct for its tonkotsu ramen, which consists of a cloudy broth made with pork bones, noodles, and toppings. Ichiran’s ramen also comes with a proprietary (read: secret) sauce called hiden no tare, an aged hot sauce made with 30 ingredients including togarashi pepper. Combined, the soup is spicy, savory, salty, and delicious to the last drop. Besides the soup, the most distinct thing about Ichiran is its solo dining booths. You can elect to sit on a stool with your own personal

cubicle of ramen pleasure. A bamboo curtain will rise and fall as your server gives you a card to fill out your ramen order, takes it, and delivers your bowl. Ichiran and its founder Manabu Yoshitomi value a focused eating experience. The order form allows for maximum ramen customization. You can choose the texture of your pork, spiciness level, toppings like a boiled egg or vinegar, and the firmness of your ramen noodles. With that consideration, servers are required to deliver your noodles from the stove to your seat in 15 seconds or less in order to preserve the texture you ordered. The special kae-dama order system is another special feature. Just place a special dish on a touch-sensor pad at your booth, hear a tune, and a server will take your bowl and fill it with more noodles. The kae-dama system, like the order form, also preserves the contemplative solo dining experience. The Times Square location even has its own exclusive appetizer: Premium Yakibuta. These thick slices of pork are marinated to achieve a sweet, smoky flavor. They’re perfect to share with a friend or to add to your ramen! To drink, try Ichiran’s sake selections, like the marigold-flavored Amabuki Yamahai Junmai Omachi, made with a special Yamahai-jikomi brewing technique that lends a funkier flavor profile. Or go for some bubbles with the Mio Sparkling, a sweet sake with notes of apple and pear. You can even take your ramen home with the Ichiran Ramen Kit! This $29 set will bring the warmth and spice of Ichiran’s signature tonkotsu ramen to your home or office. Each kit makes 3 servings and contains tonkotsu broth concentrate and the Original Spicy Red sauce. The Ichiran Ramen Kit is sold at all three locations in NYC.

Spicy, savory, salty, and delicious to the last drop...

At American Cut, a steakhouse with two locations in Manhattan, old New York elegance is matched with the chef’s 21st century sensibilities. Both dining rooms, located in Tribeca and Midtown East, are designed with Art Deco elements and are filled with professional servers carving steak and torching Baked Alaska. But you won’t find any stodgy steakhouse cuisine here. Forgione puts a fusion spin on surf ‘n turf and serves tongue-in-cheek dishes like the Carrot Glazed Carrot. Tribeca: 363 Greenwich St. (btw. Harrison & Franklin Sts.), 212-226-4736; Midtown: 109 E. 56th St. (btw. Lexington & Park Aves.), 212-388-5277; americancutsteakhouse.com

Sesame-seared ahi tuna and avocado are just one lunchtime possibility at Dutch Fred’s. Named for the policeman credited with giving the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood its name, Dutch Fred’s brings together the character of New York past with the buzz of its present. The house specialty is craft cocktails with a twist: watching the bartenders at work is almost as much fun as tasting their efforts. The menu covers shareable plates and classic faves: beer-battered Brussels sprouts, fish tacos, Angus beef burgers, and stone oven flatbreads. 307 W. 47th St. (btw. Eighth & Ninth Aves.), 646-918-6923, dutchfreds.com

All are served without steak sauce—just black and red Himalayan salts to bring out the subtle flavors. 1221 Ave. of the Americas (entrance on 49th St.), 212-575-5129, delfriscos.com

Insider’s Guide brooklyn A Golden Moment for Tourism in Brooklyn

Justin Kiner/Flickr

By ETHAN WOLFF

Epic river and bridge views await in Dumbo, Brooklyn—home to the restored masterpiece Jane’s Carousel. Distinctiveness and authenticity are two of the most appealing qualities of New York City. To find both of these qualities in concentrated form, more and more visitors are looking across the East River to Brooklyn. If it were a city on its own and not a part of New York, Brooklyn would be the fourth-largest in the country (it will pass Chicago for slot number three within the next couple of years). Although it’s a quick trip by boat, car, or train from Manhattan, you’ll find Brooklyn has evolved its own unique feel, evident in its food, drink, music, theater, art, and style. Dozens of new hotels have been added to the Brooklyn mix, joined by bigleague sports, big-time concerts, and nine restaurants impressive enough to hold 2019 Michelin stars. Over 60 performing, visual, and media arts organizations call the new Brooklyn Cultural District home, including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Theater for a New Audience, and BRIC Arts. Nearby is St. Ann’s Warehouse and a burgeoning waterfront hub in Dumbo. Further afield you’ll find Kings Theatre, an Art Deco palace that still sparkles from its $95 million renovation. At the end of the borough, classic destination Coney Island is still going strong, with a major new attraction in the 115 marine species that swim through the just-opened Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit

at the New York Aquarium. Brooklyn has its own world-class cultural institution, too: the Brooklyn Museum. Just 20 minutes from Manhattan you’ll find a priceless collection waiting to surprise you with its range, from ancient Egypt to European masterpieces to a feast of decorative art. The museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is the first public space of its kind in the U.S. You can spend hours losing yourself in the 23 American period rooms, which include one of the city’s original homes, the Jans Martense Schenck House, which has been a part of Brooklyn since 1676. Right across the way is the expansive escape of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Even in the off-season, you’ll find lovely acres for strolling, and indoor conservatories that show off the diversity of aquatic, desert, tropical, and warm temperate environments. Prospect Park is next door, designed by the same master planners that made Central Park—only they learned from their mistakes there when it came time to create the Brooklyn version. In addition to rolling hills and waterfalls, there’s a charming zoo.

New attractions and unique experiences...

Brooklyn has long been a destination for fine dining, but never more so than today. Drawing on the high standard set by pioneers like The River Café, establishments from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge are attracting ever higher numbers of travelers. Williamsburg and Fort Greene have vibrant nightlife scenes known worldwide—it’s no wonder rents in both places have begun to eclipse Manhattan’s. If you pay a visit to Brooklyn, you’ll probably want to limit yourself to a neighborhood or two—the borough is too sprawling to take in as a whole without several days (see the next page for more on the key neighborhoods). One option is to walk the Brooklyn Bridge from lower Manhattan, which will drop you off at the cusp of Brooklyn Heights (historic houses, great views) and Dumbo (more great views, park access, and Jane’s Carousel, a restored 1922 carousel right on the water). For a more avant-garde scene, Williamsburg is the place to go. Art galleries, music venues, and pioneering bars and restaurants proliferate here. The area’s creative scene spills over into neighboring Greenpoint and Bushwick. There’s great shopping in Downtown Brooklyn, which has several big retailers, not too far from showpiece new stadium Barclays Center. You can catch a world tour here, kids’ programming, or professional basketball with the Brooklyn Nets and professional hockey with the New York Islanders (they split their home games between Brooklyn and Long Island). For smaller-scale Brooklyn, the combined neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens (sometimes known as BoCoCa) have well-preserved vintage streets and tons of boutique shopping. Park Slope has a similar appeal, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops when you need a quick pick-me-up. This is a golden moment for Brooklyn tourism, the borough welcoming guests with new attractions, unique experiences, and ready accessibility. For visitors seeking out the Brooklyn version of “the real New York,” there’s never been a better time.

GettinG tO BrOOklyn BY BOAT. New York Water Taxi offers regular ferry service to Brooklyn, leaving from three piers in Manhattan (42nd Street in midtown and Battery Park and the South Street Seaport downtown) and connecting to Dumbo on the Brooklyn waterfront. As a bonus, the ride from midtown features up-close views of the Statue of Liberty! If you’re looking for more great views— and a little shopping thrown in— New York Water Taxi also runs a daily shuttle from Wall Street’s Pier 11 in Manhattan to IKEA Brooklyn in the Red Hook neighborhood.

BY SUBWAY. Extensive subway coverage connects Brooklyn with Manhattan (you can reach Brooklyn from Queens, but with much less connectivity). Major Subway Options for Visitors: The J M Z and L lines connect to Williamsburg and Bushwick. The B D N Q lines connect to Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, and Prospect Heights, ending at Coney Island. The 2 3 and A C trains connect to Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn. The 2 3 also provides service to the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park. The 4 5 train provides service to Downtown Brooklyn. The F train connects to Dumbo, Downtown Brooklyn, BoCoCa, Park Slope, and out to Coney Island. The G train does not travel to Manhattan, but it does connect Greenpoint with Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn, BoCoCa, and Park Slope. (It also connects with Long Island City in Queens.)

Insider’s Guide brooklyn Key Neighborhoods in Brooklyn

Jim.henderson

Brooklyn is home to vibrant communities. Here’s a guide to some great destination neighborhoods, each with its own character, culture, and favorite pizza parlor.

Brooklyn Borough Hall, at the center of the American success story that is Brooklyn.

Downtown Brooklyn As the name suggests, Downtown Brooklyn is the business district of the borough, home to municipal buildings (none lovelier than the 19th-century Borough Hall), offices, residences, and lots of shopping. To that end, hit Nordstrom Rack and Century 21 for deals on designer goods and Fulton Mall for outlets and other shopping. Located above Century 21 in the City Point building, Alamo Drafthouse gives you a multiplex experience with full meals and drinks at your seat, while the basement bursts with local food vendors at DeKalb Market Hall. Visit Livingston Manor for excellent craft cocktails and the plaza of MetroTech Commons for rotating art exhibitions and live music. The original outpost of Junior’s, a diner that’s home to

the “World’s Most Fabulous Cheesecake,” is nearby on Flatbush Avenue.

williamsBurg One of the borough’s best-known and most crowded areas, the waterfront portion boasts the brand-new Domino Park, luxury apartment buildings, and trendy bars and restaurants. There’s even an Apple store on busy Bedford Avenue! Check out the vintage shops lining Bedford as well (take a detour to Artists & Fleas on North 7th); you can dance a little, bowl a little at nearby Brooklyn Bowl. You can also watch an indie film and eat a burger simultaneously at Nitehawk Cinema.

ProsPect HeigHts A spoke around the hub of Prospect Park, Prospect Heights is sandwiched between Park Slope and Crown Heights on the north end of the gigantic green space after which it’s named. If you’re checking out Prospect Park for the first time, you’ll want to enter the park through Grand Army Plaza at Flatbush Avenue, where the lovely Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Arch ushers in visitors with some pomp and circumstance. Taste Iranian barbari bread with yogurt dip at Sofreh; prosciutto-fig pizza at Amorina; Weather Up’s dependable craft cocktails; and the country’s best chocolate cake (according to Food & Wine, at least) at Little Cupcake Bakeshop.

Park sloPe Aptly named, Park Slope sits on the gradual hill to the west of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park backyard. The neighborhood is full of beautiful historical brownstones (head down Prospect Park West and you’ll see what

coming uP in Brooklyn For getting out in the city, Brooklyn rivals Manhattan. You can check out the thousands of activities going on in NYC at City Guide’s Everything to Do page (cityguideny.com/events). Among the highlights coming up in Brooklyn: • Ariana Grande can be found at Barclays Center on Friday, June 14 and Saturday, June 15. • The graffiti exhibition Beyond the Streets will be presented at Twenty Five Kent in Williamsburg, starting Friday, June 21 and running through August 30. • The 37th Annual Mermaid Parade takes on Coney Island on Saturday, June 22. • This year’s Macy’s July 4th Fireworks return to the Brooklyn Bridge area on Thursday, July 4. • Citizen Cope performs at Brooklyn Steel on Tuesday, July 9.

we mean), lots of families, and community treasures like bar/comedy club Union Hall and ever-fabulous no-reservations Italian bistro Al Di La. This restaurant is located on the main drag of the neighborhood: Fifth Avenue. Its northernmost point is Barclays Center, a massive performance space, sports arena, and transit hub, while farther south you’ll find shops like consignment haven Beacon’s Closet and the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. for caped crusaders-in-training. Discover new reads at Community Bookstore, omakase sushi at Sushi Katsuei, and lip-smacking Asian fusion at Talde.

BoCoCa BoCoCa is better known as three separate, neighboring areas: Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens. BoCoCa is bordered to the east by Park Slope, to the south by Red Hook and Gowanus, and to the north by Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn. With the area’s booming real estate and tourism have come a flood of new businesses. For the best of the neighborhood, walk down Atlantic Avenue toward the water, where you’ll find fine locally made clothing at Kaight, as well as must-try “pitzas” and falafel at Bedouin Tent. You’ll find more shopping and great food on Smith Street. Start with brunch at Cafe Luluc. Browse at Woods Grove, Modern Anthology, Article&, and Books Are Magic. Wind down the day at the tiki bar Zombie Hut. A historically Italian neighborhood, Carroll Gardens boasts Jay-Z and Beyonce’s favorite pizza at Lucali.

fixtures like the vintage Jane’s Carousel, a working carousel nearly a century old.

Brooklyn HeigHts If you’re going to walk any Brooklyn neighborhood, walk Brooklyn Heights. This coveted corner just south of the Brooklyn Bridge and north of BoCoCa inspires endless oohs and aahs with its impeccable streets full of cheery window boxes, historical homes, and shady trees. Former residents include Truman Capote (70 Willow St.) and Norman Mailer (142 Columbia Heights). Take a tour of the Brooklyn Historical Society, a small museum housed in an 1881 structure replete with a gorgeous library. You can learn about the subway and bus systems of the city at the New York Transit Museum. You’ll find the most noteworthy businesses on Montague Street, including Dellarocco’s Wood Fired Pizza. Make your way over to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade for stunning skyline views of Manhattan’s southern tip. new Jersey

DUMBo Dumbo stretches between the bases of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges (the nabe’s acronym stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). A former manufacturing area on the East River, Dumbo slowly gained traffic with the Michelin-starred restaurant with a million-dollar view: The River Café. A vibrant community has sprung up, including pizza parlors Grimaldi’s and Juliana’s. (Grimaldi’s is more popular, but many argue Juliana’s has the better pies.) Brooklyn Bridge Park is the site of endless photo ops with the Manhattan skyline and two bridges in the background, as well as
