Wonderful pictures. Along with the transit museum Downtown Brooklyn, the BBG and Brooklyn Museum are some of my favorite places. I remember rolling down some of the slopes at the BBG as a kid. And our parents enrolled us in the BBG Children's Garden as kids. I was also employed as a counselor at the Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program during high school, which was sponsored at the Brooklyn Museum.
My family's home in Brooklyn is a ten minute walk from the museum, so we don't drive there, but if we had to I'd try to find parking on some of the side streets on the other side of Eastern Parkway. I'd also consider driving down Atlantic Avenue to avoid the Eastern Parkway issues, which I agree are frustrating.
Agree on Dinosaur BBQ. I first became acquainted with them over a decade ago at their Syracuse location.
I am not the hugest fan of the woke inter racial dating theme. It always exhisted but more recently it seems like the inter racial dating is more weaponized and plain awful, in a way. Certainly Brooklyn will be first on board with any obvious Marxist programming, which, in my opinion, is a real fail.
These are pro-ported experts of plants and species, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is connected to all global institutions concerning plant taxonomy so on and so forth, yet they behave dumbly connected to art. What an embarrassing mess.
Man, one subject you will NEVER see at Brooklyn art museums is Jewish women and Black male unison copulating, having mulato babies between jew women and black dudes. So why des the jewish media so unbelievably push down everyones throats that White Western wonen are some spectacular match with African Americans? Personally i think this is absolute poison for white western culture. It is stupidity.
New York City should be cool AF and tough AF but you placed a bunch of wimps in command
The whole Miscegenation is wonderful and healthy and sexy, thing, I am suspicious really. I am disgusted by it at this stage.
The garden will be even crazier this weekend and next as the main grove of cherry blossoms bloom, so you picked a good time to go. I like the garden a lot, my last apartment was diagonally across the street from there so I went quite a bit, now that I am in DT Brooklyn, not as much although I am going to try to get there in the next couple of weeks. I like to go to the free Saturday evening programs the Museum has the first Saturday of the month although it is quite the scene.
$25 to park! A bit much for that location. Was the parking lot at least supervised? I haven't been to the Brooklyn Museum since 1983 for the Brooklyn Bridge exhibit. IIRC museum parking was free in their beat-up looking parking lot, which I think was in back of the museum at that time.
Your story tells me that when possible one should use public transportation which is less costly than parking (especially if one has free admission to the garden).
If you live along the 2,3,4,5 IRT lines, maybe, if you feel safe on those subway lines. But if your coming in from an area without subway service, or with a family, driving in makes more sense for convenience sake.
