Something to do in... Brooklyn, NY

The weather is getting nicer and we all want to get outside! So I'm going to interrupt my Iceland stories for a bit of New York in the springtime. -brief pause-

So if you're in the New York/New Jersey area and you're looking for a way to enjoy the absolutely positively fabulous weather we've been having, why not take a quick trip out to Brooklyn?

I mean, for starters, if you like doughnuts half as much as I do...

On a nice, sunny Sunday, we swung by the Brooklyn Flea by the Manhattan Bridge Archway.

Treasures and treats everywhere you look, we found some super cool vintage prints that I plan on having framed.

Having come from the medical sciences and biology in school, I found the antique and vintage diagrams particularly awesome. One labels different common species of bugs and insects, the other details the most basic level of the nervous system.

There's a little something for everyone! Knick knacks, furniture, hand-made crafts, some really beautiful jewelry...

Or maybe photography is your thing? I thought these were super cool.

After you've had your fill of doughnuts and made your special finds, maybe take a walk around the park! You'll find plenty of places to sit and enjoy the sunshine, or wander through if you're in need of the walk. After that doughnut, you know I went opted for the latter of the two.

Beautiful views everywhere you look; there's nothing quite like New York City in the spring. Living so close by, I'm in and out of the city all year 'round, but this is by far my favorite time of the year here.

We wound up crossing the bridge to TriBeCa after the flea market to grab a drink and some super-seriously-monstrous nachos from South's. That'll be another post for another day, though!
