Prospect Lefferts Gardens
Prospect Lefferts Gardens is a small and quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn bordering the east side of Prospect Park. The area boasts a lush historic district and has been rapidly changing in the two years we've lived here; quite a few of our favorite spots in PLG only just opened their doors within the past year.

Bluebird Food & Spirits
A crackling fireplace by the bar for the winter and twinkling lights in the backyard for the summer.

This 12-acre zoo is right off of Flatbush Ave, and is only $8 to get in. It's pretty small, and you can probably speed through the whole thing in about 30 mins, but it's fun to leisurely observe all the different animals throughout the path. The seal show is cool but our favorite is the red panda. Just look at how chill that panda is!
