Stock Up on Sweets at Economy Candy

If you are travelling with kids, or you just happen to be a big kid yourself, we know somewhere that might just send you giddy with joy, and that’s Economy Candy. This might just be the most seriously sugary spot that we’ve ever seen. With a history that dates back to 1937, Economy Candy is an NYC institution, selling candies that are both vintage and modern.

Watch an Outrageous Art Show at Gowanus Ballroom

A night out at the opera or at Carnegie Hall is never going to be a bad thing, but these kind of established venues only show one side of New York, and this has always been a city that has existed on the cutting edge. If you fancy catching a performance that is totally Avant Garde, Gowanus Ballroom will be more up your alley. This is an alternative arts space in Brooklyn that has garnered a reputation as a place where you can see outrageous shows from up and coming performance artists.

Indulge a Vintage Lover at Brooklyn Flea

As you walk along the streets of Brooklyn, you’ll be in doubt that you have found yourself in Hipsterville where a lot of attention is paid to wearing awesome threads. If you’d like to take back a little bit of the Brooklyn vibe with you, a trip to the weekly Brooklyn Flea is definitely in order. You’ll find a treasure trove of vintage clothing, but if that’s not your thing, you’ll also find antiques, collectables, and a huge street food area where you can chow down.

Have an Art Filled Day at the Guggenheim Museum

The Guggenheim is one of the best known art museums anywhere in the world. It opened all the way back in 1939 with Solomon R. Guggenheim’s private collections, and since then has expanded to contain an incredible variety of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and contemporary art. With works from the likes of Paul Klee, Picasso, Chagall, and Miro, this is truly an art lover’s paradise.

Eat Latin American Grub at Red Hook Food Vendors

The Red Hook Food Vendors Marketplace is a Brooklyn institution, and it’s where the Latin community of New York gathers to eat the really authentic dishes from Latin America. If it’s good enough for Latino locals, it’s certainly good enough for us, and some of the delicious bites you might stumble upon include elotes, hulks of corn covered in mayo, cheese, lime and chilli, huaraches, massive tortillas slathered in meat and cheese, and plantain chips. The trucks are open on weekends between April and October.
