KATZ’SDELI


"I’ll have what she’s having"
might be the most famous
line uttered in this
delicatessen, first established
in 1888, but its own
WWII-era slogan features
among a trio of pins. Meg
Ryan actually had a turkey
sandwich, not the classic
pastrami on rye.

CBGB


RIP CBGB, 1973–2006.
You can keep the Bowery club’s
memory alive with a variety of
T-shirts, hoodies and baby-grows.
Though the name at first stood for
‘country, bluegrass and blues’,
the venue was most famous for
nurturing punk and new-wave bands
such as the Ramones and Blondie.

B ro o k l y n N a v y Ya rd wa s n’t a l wa y s a f r i e n d l y
place for whiskey-makers: it was from here that
battalions left to smash illegal stills in the Whiskey
Wars of the 1860s. But now the site is home to
NYC’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition.

BOUNDLESS BROOKLYN


Water towers are not just a feature of America’s Great
Plains – there are more than 12,000 of them in New York
City, perched on rooftops, and often on the rusty side.
Build your own version out of recycled chipboard at
under a foot high, ready for a custom paint job.
