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.

    Nice! I'm a block away from the WL party and I think another 2 from Barclay. By the time I get out of there I don't won't want to walk anywhere!

    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.

    You can tell a bands fans are getting old when the preshow conversation is about who has the best parking spot.

    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.
