It’s never as crazy crowded as Central Park, and there’s always room to hangout at any of the lawn areas, so it’s a great place to go on a picnic with a date or your family. There’s also a pretty decent view of the Manhattan skyline from here. You can see both the Manhattan bridge and the Brooklyn bridge from this park. I’ve been dying to take photos here for quite some time and I was doubly excited because I finally remembered to take my polarizing filter with me (hooray)!

Still, if I had made this for myself for brunch I wouldn’t be disappointed.Īfter an “okay” lunch at AlMar we decided to take our full bellies out for a walk along Brooklyn Bridge Park. Yes it looks damn pretty, and the whipped egg whites were fun to eat, but I thought the ham and especially the fontina cheese overpowered everything else in the dish, and so the taste of the egg disappeared in a barrage of saltiness. Unfortunately, it was not as amazing as I had hoped it would be. I’m a huge fan of eggs for breakfast, and this sounded so delicate and delicious that I was practically drooling while we were waiting for the order. Let me tell you, I’m hard-pressed to remember any point in my life where I’ve been that excited about my brunch order. I had the egg in a cloud, which is baked egg yolk floating on whipped egg whites, fontina cheese, smoked ham, toasted brioche, and served with sautéed spinach.
He thought it was okay but not fantastic. Mike had the AlMar breakfast sandwich, which consists of farm eggs, fontina cheese, and ham on ciabatta bread. We were both pretty happy with our drink orders, and he even got another glass of orange juice. Mike had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
I probably shouldn’t be living in NYC if that’s the case, but let’s face it: this is a ridiculously awesome city.Īs always I was drawn to ordering a cappuccino, because well, it was BRUNCH. The place has high ceilings (which, I noticed was an ongoing theme in every establishment in DUMBO), which I LOVED because I have a tendency to get stressed out in cramped spaces. The ambiance of AlMar is cool and laid back. We started our walk by having brunch at AlMar since we were both starving. Mike and I did our engagement photo shoot in DUMBOĪlMar – An Italian restaurant which is also known for having a good brunch menu You will also usually find people doing random graffiti shots and engagement photos there. It’s such a pretty (but urban!) looking area that you will be hard-pressed to find a weekend where there aren’t any wedding parties taking photos.
Brooklyn Heights Tour - a 2-hour tour of charming. It’s not very big, and the activities you can do are limited, but the view is gorgeous at Brooklyn Bridge park and there are plenty of nice places to eat. We do offer a number of pay-what-you-wish guided tours of these Brooklyn neighborhoods: Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights, and DUMBO Tour - a 3-hour tour that begins with a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, a stroll through Brooklyn Heights, and a taste of DUMBO ending at the Fulton Ferry Landing. DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC.
