In Brooklyn
From the Nu Hotel, the best streets to explore are Atlantic Avenue (known for its Middle Eastern stores and antique shops), Smith Street (great for bars and restaurants), and Court Street (with lovely shops and cafes). Just exit left from the Nu Hotel and cross Atlantic (heading the other way brings you to Downtown Brooklyn, which is nowhere good).
