It's summertime in Brooklyn and these flip-flops are made for walking.
So follow our lead and head down Third Avenue, Flatbush or Fulton Street where you'll find great drinks, sports and flicks galore. This weekend we even stretched a bit beyond our usual borders and included an event in Prospect Park—but with a free Los Lobos concert at the end of the trek, it's worth it!
