Brighton Beach
Where: Brooklyn
How to get there: B/Q Trains (B only on weekdays)
What to expect: Be prepared to journey into little Russia for the day - Brighton Beach is a heavily Russian neighborhood (chock full of vodka, Soviet nostalgia, and bleach blondes). Regulars include the sun reflector-equipped Russian old men and ladies, Eastern European models, and the Williamsburg locals.
