Sign up for the New York Road Runners NYC Half (March 17th - St Patricks Day!) As of 2018 the new course starts in Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn, down Flatbush Avenue and run across the (closed to traffic) Manhattan Bridge, along the FDR, through Times Square and finish in Central Park (lottery and charity only though).

Spend a half day around Brooklyn Bridge Park, Dumbo and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade - especially the latter given the area is about to go through a major upheaval as the BQE cantilevered section is due to go through some major renovations lasting 6+ years.

A half day in Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, Botanical Gardens, Prospect Park.

Checkout the breweries and coffee shops of Gowanus and Carroll Gardens.

Do the Made in Red Hook tour and check out some really interesting local makers. [1]

Visit one of the oldest buildings in the city [2]

Take a Brooklyn Pizza / Chocolate / Neighborhood tour [3]

Williamsburg, Dumbo, Park Slope, downtown Brooklyn, just to name a few.

I'll spare Brooklyn residents the pain of ratting out their less well-known haunts.
