Cheap, clean, fun

ekiss · February 2009

My mother and aunt are coming to Brooklyn to visit me in Midwood. We want to do something fun, but we are on a tight budget as I am unemployed and my mother is not working. I was thinking a museum, but most of them are closed as it is Monday and a holiday. Any suggestions? Also, any cheap/nice dining suggestions? Thanks.

The Brookly Botanic Garden is cheap and the first shoots of Spring are popping up. Prospect Park is free and lovely in places. Or just take a walking tour of your own design of a neighborhood that interests you or that you have always wanted to see.

For dining, you are on your own. But areas like Ft. Greene offer wonderful sights of architecture and culture and full of new and exciting restaurants of all varieties.

Your folks can go to a museum almost anywhere. But only here can they experience Brooklyn neighborhoods.

How about Famous Pita on Coney Island Ave? Fairly cheap, excellent falafel and pickled vegetal items...
and they moved down the block/renovated so it's not a formica pit anymore.

It's hard to make great suggestions for such a broad enquiry tho . . . food and fun are sooooo subjective.

But I concur with the BBG.org
* Closed Monday (but open holiday Mondays)
The indoor glassed-in greenhouses are fantastic when you can't stand the cold.
