Take A Seasonal Tour at Brooklyn Botanic Garden Before Funky Dinner at The Bearded Lady

If you’ve never had a chance to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, any season is a great time to go. With seasonal tours of the garden, interactive installations and art exhibits, the garden marks the confluence of human creativity and nature at it's most beautiful. Be sure to check the hours before you go.

Your next stop is The Bearded Lady, a cozy, mellow bar featuring finely crafted drinks and small bites. Serving fantastic fresh oysters along with killer libations (try anything made with an egg white for an added kick), you’ll also find more savory sharable and snackable food options. Choose from items like nachos or hot pretzels with horseradish dipping sauce, or order a grilled cheese made with beer cheese and pickles to go with your classy cocktails. Stop by before 8 p.m. on any weeknight to partake in happy hour, which features $2 drafts, $1 off well drinks and wine, and $1 oysters.
