Any advice for cool things to do or see within walking distance of Barclays in Brooklyn? Any suggestions for food? Anything iconic or must see? Just looking to kill a few hours. Not interested in bars

Also tips for parking are appreciated as well

Thanks!

    I'm really hoping we get a nice spring day. My buddy and I are planning to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge from his place in lower Manhattan.

    Depends what your looking to do. Barclays is pretty close to Prospect Park which is a huge beautiful park. Tons of great restaurants around Park Slope. Also Barclays is right off a major Subway tunnel so easy to get to and from from other parks of the city quite quickly.

    Hoping for a Pre-RNRHOF gig somewhere. Would love to see the event at Barclays but sitting thru Journey would be terribly painful...

    I use ParkWhiz and pick a lot, pre pay and your guaranteed a spot. I paid 50 bucks for 12 hours which is still cheaper than paying for 2 people to take the train and the subway from CT!
    There are $30 lots for the event (which I think they consider 6pm - 11pm) but I'm hitting up Wishlist for a bit and I don't want to go over that time limit if they finish late.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    ParkWhiz is fantasitc. The other day I secured a spot a 20 minute walk away from Barclays for the ceremony (enter after 4:30pm, exit before 4:30am) @ $15 less a $5 credit for $10 total. Not too shabby.

    ParkWhiz will let you cancel a reservation and credit your card back (just follow up - once they forgot to and I had to email) so you can book elsewhere.

    Two Toms' on Third Avenue is an awesome hole in the wall restaraunt I went to before Brooklyn II in '13. The pork chop dinner is one of the best you'll find anywhere & Jose was a top notch host.

    Pretty good BBQ. Haven't been to the Brooklyn location but I've been to the original in Syracuse and the Troy location quite a few times. Usually pretty busy so if you're planning on going before the ceremony, try to get a reservation

    I wouldn't bet on this. It starts at 7 (in theory) and the ones I went to in Cleveland were at LEAST 6 hours long. Each artist has someone give an induction speech, and the the artist speeches, video, performances, and then in between production changes etc.
