The best split pea soup in town, in both vegetarian and beef varieties, with dumplings that are sublime! A great take-out restaurant for Guyanese and West Indian cuisine, every bit as good as its founding establishment in Georgetown, Guyana.

One of the best places to get a feel for the pulse of Brooklyn, while getting some exercise and fresh air, and taking in some nature in the process! In the summer, the park's Celebrate Brooklyn events are some of the hottest shows in town. It was designed by the same person who designed Manhattan's Central Park, and some say this was his true masterpiece!

With its breathtaking façade, sweeping grand lobby and vast contemporary and historical collections, Central Library is a Brooklyn icon. The building’s history dates to 1889, when the Brooklyn Park Commission was authorized to select a location for the library. In 1912, ground was broken on architect Raymond F. Almirall’s imposing Beaux-Arts design, but construction slowed and eventually ceased in the following years as the nation and the borough endured economic difficulties brought on by World War One and the Great Depression. A single unfinished wing of the building sat empty on Flatbush Avenue for more than two decades.
Construction resumed on a reimagined Central Library in 1935, and the building finally opened to the public on February 1, 1941. The library’s design evokes an open book, with its spine on Grand Army Plaza and two wings opening like pages onto Eastern Parkway and Flatbush Avenue. Its 50-foot-high entry portico, set into the concave limestone façade, reflects the elliptical configuration of Grand Army Plaza. The dramatic entrance features fifteen gilded figures from American literature, framed by columns with gold-leaf etchings that depict the evolution of art and science through the ages.
