Things to do in Brooklyn

7 million people, more than Manhattan, and it covers over 180 square kilometres, so treat it as its own trip rather than a half-day add-on. 8 kilometres, 30-40 minutes on foot, with a pedestrian promenade kept separate from the cyclist lane. Prospect Park, also designed by Olmsted and Vaux, covers 526 acres. 90 on OMNY.

Williamsburg, DUMBO and Park Slope each warrant a separate visit; none is walkable from a single station.
