Take a walk on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge for some scenery and free exercise before breakfast. Café Luluc is a French bistro known for their brunch and garden seating. All of their dishes can be kept under $10–15 a person for quite a bit of food. This venue is cash only, so come prepared.

Hit happy hour at Brooklyn Brewery in Williamsburg. The tasting room is open for $5 beer tokens, but the cask typically taps out at 6 p.m., so customers should head over early.

 

Brooklyn Bridge Park at Brooklyn Heights is another free venue to visit. Take a walk, see the sights and take in beautiful, historic Brooklyn. Bocce ball at Brooklyn Bridge Park is free, so grab a friend for some outdoor fun with the Manhattan skyline in the distance.

Brooklyn Bowl is another must visit and favorite for Williamsburg locals. This bar, live music venue and bowling alley is much more than meets the eye. Tickets are around $7 and can be purchased at the door.

 

Dinner at Gran Electrica offers authentic Mexican cuisine set to live music, art and a great vibe. Try the Pescado Estilo Ensenada for $12, carnitas for $9, Mojo de Ajo for $15 or anything else on their eclectic and fresh menu.
