Summer in Brooklyn starts just outside your front door.
Start slow with a coffee and fresh pastry from Cafe Volkan to set the tone. Then make your way to Prospect Park for a long, unhurried visit under the trees.
Spend the afternoon drifting through the Brooklyn Museum’s galleries, then lose track of time browsing Boerum Hill’s boutiques. Don’t miss The Primary Essentials, where every shelf holds something worth bringing home.
When the sun dips low, let Rucola pull you in with elevated Italian fare, a warm atmosphere, and one last glass you’ll be glad you stayed for.
Your neighborhood. Your summer.
