Prospect Lefferts Gardens offers hours of entertainment for zero dollars if you’re a walker with miles to cover. The neighborhood, as of Wednesday, claims the Greenest Block in Brooklyn honor (thus spoke the foliage-friendly folks at Brooklyn Botanic Garden). But while you should hit that stretch of Lefferts Avenue, its brownstones overflowing with greenery are exemplary of the area. Follow the avenue westward and you’ll end up in the borough’s ultimate greenspace, Prospect Park.
PLG of course offers more than leafy goodness. Spend the day: Try some West Indian cuisine, grab a reasonably priced concoction at a tiki bar, pick up some gifts (indie bookstore lovers’ alert) and don’t miss out on a slice of fig-buttermilk pie.
