Travel Spotlight, Brooklyn (Part 3):
TBA's Spotlight on Brooklyn, New York continues today with a look at things to do when you visit New York City's popular neighbor. Here are some of the items I believe any newcomer will love when they cross over to Kings County.
Prospect Park This 585-acre oasis was
designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and
Calvert Vaux, who also created Central
Park. There are plenty of walking, running
and biking paths for travelers of all
speeds. The park also includes an ice
skating rink, outdoor concerts and
barbeque pits with picnic tables.

Brooklyn Bridge This structure, that
connects Brooklyn and Manhattan, is the
oldest suspension bridge in the United
States. Walking across this engineering
marvel is a must for any New York
enthusiast. The views of both lower
Manhattan, and the neighboring Manhattan
Bridge, are breathtaking. Brooklyn Heights;
