Local Lifestyle

The glorious Brooklyn Heights is not only a hotspot for out-of-towners and international tourists, but those who are lucky to call it home cherish the neighborhood with pride. A tranquil atmosphere pours over the quiet leafy streets, with residents and visitors relaxing on park benches or adventuring along the hilltop promenade with great views of the Statue of Liberty and magical sunsets. Worlds apart from the frenzy of Manhattan while offering many conveniences and an easy work commute, Brooklyn Heights is truly a place to come home to.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

A smattering of upscale restaurants lie along the charming sidewalks of Hicks Street, and high-end stores and boutiques are strewn across Montague Street — the dining and retail epicenters of Brooklyn Heights, hosting the likes of Boutros where Middle Eastern cooking styles meld with American flavors and classic Kiehl’s Since 1851.

If you’re looking to collect or gift unique and handcrafted items, check out the hand-crafted items at the Brooklyn Women’s Exchange, which stocks everything from greeting cards to knitted sweaters, made in Brooklyn and beyond. The rustic decor at Chez Moi complements the palate-pleasing French cuisine featuring classics like escargot and mussels, Creme Brûlée, and lots more.

Delicious thin crust Italian pizza awaits you at Dellarocco's, to be washed down with a chilled glass of beer. Delicious Gluten free pizza is also available. Get yourself a gorgeous piece of custom-made fine jewelry at the Marissa Alperin Studio, or have something sparkly boxed up as a unique gift for that special person. Have you got a cute pup? The WAG Club is waiting to give your fur friends that perfectly groomed look, and you might as well drop them in for a doggy daycare session.

Things to Do

Brooklyn Bridge Park is not only a tourist attraction but also an iconic landmark that has become a local favorite hang-out spot. This multi-activity park boasts numerous grassy fields and cobbled paths suitable for bike rides, running, volleyball, or soccer. Bird-watchers can have a great time, while if you’re looking for more dazzling views, you will never run short with the magnificent Manhattan skyline. The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy also offers free year-round programming and events throughout the park.

The Brooklyn Heights Promenade is a pedestrian stretch commonly frequented by both locals and tourists. Wander in the sunshine all day, or enjoy a peaceful sunset with music blasting in your headphones. There are benches to sit on and read or chat with a friend. Be sure to grab a membership card at Heights Casino, a squash club beloved by locals looking to get their daily workout in over a game of squash with neighbors or acquaintances. Don’t miss out on the tasty menu afterward at the exclusive dining section.

Educate yourself on the history of Brooklyn by taking a guided tour of the Brooklyn Historical Society.
