Brooklyn's first public park, set aside in 1845 after Walt Whitman argued for it in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and laid out by Olmsted and Vaux. The 200-foot column at the top is the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, put up in 1908 over a crypt holding remains of some of the 11,500 people who died on British prison ships anchored in Wallabout Bay. Wallabout Bay is the water the Navy Yard was later built on.

A corner place on DeKalb at Cumberland with windows on two sides, a bar along one wall and a menu of burgers, roast chicken and a few pastas. The kitchen runs straight through from 11am, so there is no dead hour in the middle of the afternoon when most of Fort Greene is shut. Happy hour is four to six Monday through Thursday and weekend brunch starts at 9am.
