Guidebook for Brooklyn
Parks & Nature
Prospect Park is amazing! It is a .7-mi walk from my apartment. There is a 3.5-mi bike and running path that I run around several times a week. There are other hiking trails, meadows, lakes, and tons of activities that draw people to it every day, especially during the warmer months. To get there, walk up the hill from my apartment. You can either walk to the 9th Street entrance or use the one on 15th Street.

This pizza place takes the cake - it's the best in the Slope. They don't sell single slices or anything that is not a pizza or calzone - but they are worth it.
