A huge, beautiful park nestled right in bustle of Brooklyn. There is plenty to explore here so be sure to arrive with plenty of time to wander.

Beautiful location to look out at the water and generally take in lovely seaside Connecticut. I'd say definitely not worth the $30 price tag, though. Maybe you can find another nearby beach to explore instead.

Wonderful little bar in Brooklyn that is a covert shrine to Doctor Who. Be careful when entering the Tardis--it is the bar's restroom. Plenty of seating and doubles as a local cultural hub.

While a beautiful park and a fascinating sight to behold, the rocks are a bit difficult to actually ring. I would definitely recommend the visit; though be prepared to be climbing all over thousands of rocks!

There isn't too much to see here but, as an excitable coffee fan, I couldn't help but stop.

I can't stress enough how important it is for you to get Brad's Pub Fries. They will change your life. Otherwise, a great atmosphere and food but tends to get pretty busy on the weekends.

We had to walk probably a mile out of the way an cut through a golf course to sneak into this place. It had recently snowed and it looked like there were bear tracks all over. The silence was deafening. But man, it was an awesome time! Good luck!

The two items here I'm sure to seek out every time: Joey Ramone's leather jacket and Paul Simonon's broken bass from the cover of London Calling. If you ever wanted to feel like you're in the presence of something greater than you, spend a few hours here.

Contrary to all the fun-haters posting poor reviews, there is something magical about Navy Pier. Yeah, cliche be damned: it is magical. Maybe its just a nostalgia thing, I admit. But, come on: you're walking in late September on Navy Pier. You've got on that jacket that is one stage before you dig out the winter coat. You probably find an old piece of gum or a movie ticket to Jurassic Park 2 or some other movie you completely forgot you saw in the pocket. The cityscape is all around you and the breeze chills you just a bit. With your arm around your steady, you look up to see a smattering of stars and fireworks exploding above the lit up ferris wheel. You'd sneak a kiss but you don't want to ruin the moment--so, instead, you pull her closer and smile to yourself.

I get it... I've been watching too much Friday Night Lights. But gosh guys, is it isn't that bad.

This is an amazing building. Has everyone spotted the Hamlet reference?
