The Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG)

Home of the most gorgeous cherry blossoms you've ever seen, BBG is NYBG for those of us too lazy to leave Brooklyn. BBG emphasizes learning about nature through doing. Maybe they'll teach you how to keep your window succulent alive. At the very least you'll take an amazing snapchat selfie on the walk and pick up their recipe for cherry blossom panna cotta.
