Take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset. I don't care what anyone says, that wooden walkway and the view are hard to beat. 

Bike to the pier in Red Hook and snag a view of the Statue of Liberty. Watch as locals fish in the river; the vibe in that hood is like a New England seaside town. When sun sets, get a beer at Sonny's bar around the corner, the best dive in all of New York. 

Jane's Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park is fun for kids, and adults too. The immaculate restoration of the vintage carousel is as picturesque as can be, and the view and the grassy lawn are ripe for picnicking.
