More Tips and Recommendations from our Guide Irene

To return to Manhattan, from Green-Wood Cemetery, you can walk towards the trendy and characteristic neighborhood of Park Slope (Brooklyn) here you will have the opportunity to relax in one of the many cafes and bars or stroll along the tree-lined streets adorned by beautiful Townhouses. Why not visit the historic The Old Stone House? (at n.336 3rd St, Brooklyn,) is an old stone house used by General Washington and his troops during the American Revolution. You can visit the house for free and learn interesting facts about the Brooklyn Battle. From Park Slope, you can continue to (1) the new-ish Barclay Center and Atlantic Avenue which is the modern Downtown Brooklyn, or (2) head to the Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill to continue walking through some of the most historic and residential areas of Brooklyn. If you keep walking this way, you will be able to reach Brooklyn Heights with great views over the Bridge and Downton Manhattan.
