After the skyscraper-filled districts of Lower and Midtown Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn has a more casual look and feel.

Old brownstone façades blend with modern city towers in the bustling heart of Brooklyn. Business people in suits mix with youthful students this glimpse of everyday life is rare elsewhere in central New York. Downtown Brooklyn is on the rise, with new initiatives for art and entertainment popping up everywhere and MetroTech Commons is a good place to start if you’re looking for culture. Enjoy a burger with a pint in a bar and mingle with the locals.
