I am not a rap fan but JayZ really sums up New York in his “Empire State Of Mind” Video. If you are thinking about coming to New York this video shows some of the best places in the city to visit.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden Video

Vinny — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:48:06 +0000

Here are some videos that I took during my trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It is an amazing place and you really forget you are in Brooklyn. This was shot in late April and there is really something to see here no matter what time of year you go.

Here is a Robin taking a bath in a waterfall. Yes it is in Brooklyn lol

Turtles all lined up in the Japanese Pond.

Yellow Daffodils

Japanese Pond : Water animals and beauty

Shakespeare Garden : Herbs and flowers mixed

Pretty Flowers : They are all over the place as you can imagine.

Brooklyn Conservatory : There was a wedding going on inside. Probably one of the best places to get married in Brooklyn.

That is enough for today. If you are going to the gardens they are free on Tuesday. You can take the Franklin shuttle train to the Botanic garden stop or take the B or Q and get off at Prospect park. Walk towards the Wendys and enter the gardens there.

Brooklyn Kayak Club

Met these nice people last year when they paddled up to my summer home near the Rockaways. They had about 15 kayaks and they went and got pizza for lunch.

Who knew that Brooklyn had such a club.

Things to do in Central Park

Vinny — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:53:22 +0000

I always get asked about Central Park and even though it is not in Brooklyn it is a must see when you come into the city. I always wander around near Columbus Circle and then head East towards the Central Park zoo before heading up towards the reservoir. Here is a cool video I found that shows some other cool things to see in the park.

If you are going to walk around in Central Park make sure you bring comfortable shoes, a bottle of water, and maybe some binoculars as there are many types of birds.
