    Grab a pie from nearby Juliana's, lobster rolls from the Luke's Lobster outpost, or a sandwich from No. 7 sub and post up on one of the grassy knolls to have a picnic with a great view.

    Many types of birds and crustaceans have made themselves at home in the salt marsh at Pier 1. We can't blame them- the view is spectacular!

    A nearby public boat dock and seasonal outposts of popular eateries like Brooklyn Bridge Wine Bar and Blue Marble Ice Cream are among the reasons young families love making a day of this scenic pier.

    This park has it all. Bike paths, large patches with green grass to have a picnic, and last but not least, the most beautiful view of the greatest city on the world from Brooklyn.

    If you made the trek out to the Calexico cart, don't miss out on the relaxing Pier 1, just one of the many sections of the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park. Grab a bench or chill on the lawn.

    Wall along the water to the southern tip, find the stairs. Nice place to sit for a view. The grass next to the steps is also lovely. And surprisingly soft!

    July 1st: Get brave and sing in front of a bunch of strangers outside at Totally Public Karaoke at Pier I. (Might we suggest “Formation”? It’s what Beyoncé would want.) Read more

    Plenty of grassy area to enjoy city views. This is the pier closest to the Brooklyn Bridge.

    The panoramic views of downtown Manhattan from Brooklyn Bridge Park are unreal. Also, the outdoor movie screenings in the summer are a must for your to-do list!

    Hundreds of dog bones have been buried under the grass here. They've recently banned dogs on the grass to preserve these artifacts for future dog generations.

    Bring a picnic basket and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Manhattan Skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. One word of caution, keep your children away from the metal climbing domes.

    Head to Pier 1 to see Gotham in its full majesty. Enticing treats abound, especially at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. You can even drop in to hear first-rate chamber music at the floating barge.

    How Green should be. Great views of Lower Manhattan. Catch the Gov Island Ferry, trek across the Bklyn Bridge or just kick back at the wine bar. Perfect for picnics or chillaxing.
