We’re famous! And by we, we mean Brooklyn. Brooklyn’s Finest, a cop drama starring Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, and Wesley Snipes, hits theaters tomorrow. Are you going to see it?

Check out the trailer below:

I’m a big foodie when it comes to eating out or getting specific kinds of foods, in this case bakery items. Not just any place is going to do it for me. I often find that the more established a bakery is or the longer it’s been around, the better choice and quality you are going to have.

Some of the main bakeries in Brooklyn you can check out are Monteleone’s on Court St. (which has the best cannolis ever) and B & W Bakery (known for its signature crumb cake).

You can also find various ethnic bakeries as well. I have a lot of Greek in me, so if I can find a place that has good baklava I will be a customer forever! You can also check out Rimini Bakery on Bay Parkway for Italian items, Nordic Delicacies on 3rd Ave. for Scandinavian, Sahadi’s on Atlantic Avenue for Middle Eastern, and Leske’s on 5th Ave. in Bay Ridge for Norwegian. It really depends on what you want and how far you are willing to search for your favorite dessert!

If you just moved to the Brooklyn area you may be wondering about some activities or hobbies you can get into. Frankly, I think Brooklyn is one of those great cities where just about anyone can find something that interests them.

If you are young person or young couple into trends, you might enjoy trying new restaurants like Applewood, Al Di LA or Franny’s. These are some of the newer and “hip” restaurants in the community that get praise all the time for the food, atmosphere and social scene.

On the other hand, maybe you are into the bar or the club scene. If so, like most other metropolitan areas Brooklyn offers quite a few options to choose from such as Building on Bond, Clover Club, Floyd, NY or Last Exit, which is a fantastic mix between a comfortable downtown bar and a trendy lounge.

For children, Brooklyn has tons of great cultural activities and performing arts opportunities. Consider the New York Aquarium, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Prospect Park Zoo, The Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Lefferts Historic House, and of course Coney Island. At this last stop, your family can enjoy games, rides, food, and the popular Coney Island Museum.
