Think "Britisher who is in town for a week and wants to check out this cool new place called Brooklyn"
I could only recommend Wburg for walking around
Everything else seems like a 'destination' like you just end up there and drink cocktails for 5 hours before going back to your apartment

I'm guess you're joking but the views from the Ikea in Brooklyn are really great, I saw two ladies sitting on one of the display couches looking out the window and it was this idyllic scene which contrasted with everyone else having meltdowns

Village East multiplex doing a Hitchcocktober season. I'd not seen it before - curious as to whether the book makes sense at the end or devolves into the same batshit lurid Freudian flailing of the Hitch version. First hour is fun though!
