What We Do

About Our Site - A Guide to Brooklyn Travel and Tourism Attractions

Brooklyn is big! With cafes and restaurants, residents and fun attractions from virtually every corner of the globe, the Center's staff is always on hand to transform our big city into the small town, and small world, that 2.5 million Brooklynites enjoy living in every day. Whether you want to know which subway will take you to Coney Island (actually, 4 lines go there), which neighborhood has the best pizza (or Chinese food, or bagels, or kielbasa, or curry, or collard greens), or which art galleries or museums in Brooklyn suit your artistic tastes, the Brooklyn Tourism and Visitors Center has all the answers. Brooklyn is where New York City begins, and Brooklyn begins at the Tourism and Visitors Center!

The Tourism and Visitors Center's website provides some of the highlights of the information available at the Center in Borough Hall, as well as convenient Brooklyn transportation information for seeing all our borough has to offer. We've got everything you need right here to help you plan your visit, from links to our many museums to a guide to our renowned Brooklyn NY restaurants, cafes and cheap eateries to the best places to rest your head after a day of chatting with friendly Brooklynites.

The website also features a handy calendar of events that lists the many cultural and historical events that make Brooklyn the most diverse and exciting city in America, as well as a map of our famous neighborhoods and the Brooklyn subway, bus, cruise and train maps to get you where you want to go quickly and easily. We've also thrown in a little Brooklyn history - 1 in 7 Americans' roots pass through here - and information about the many organizations that have partnered with Borough Hall to establish the Tourism and Visitors Center.
