BEST RESTAURANT – The River Café in Brooklyn Heights.
WEEKEND GETAWAY – Always love a Sag Harbor/Hamptons weekend.
FAVORITE QUOTE ABOUT BROOKLYN – “It’s ironic that no matter where I go, I meet people from Brooklyn. I’m proud of that heritage. It’s where I’m from, who I am.” — Howard Schultz
FAVORITE HISTORICAL RESIDENT – At the moment, Alexander Hamilton.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR OFFICE BESIDES THE PEOPLE – The panoramic views of Brooklyn, New York City, New Jersey, the bridges. It exhilarates you.
BEST VIEW – Walking over the Brooklyn Bridge—the views are amazing!
FAVORITE PARK – Prospect Park is Brooklyn’s Central Park, one of the few remaining indigenous forests in the city.
GO-TO SPORTS VENUE – Barclays Center. How did we live without it?

FAVORITE PIZZA JOINT – Lucali in Carroll Gardens: best pizza ever. No reservations, BYOB, always a line. Worth every minute.
MOST FAMOUS RESIDENT – Maybe not most famous but my favorite famous resident: Barbra Streisand.
FAVORITE LESSER-KNOWN TOURIST ATTRACTION – If you don’t make it to the iconic cyclone roller coaster in Coney Island, I would have to recommend Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
