Brooklyn Off The Beaten Path Tips by VZ-Pam

Brooklyn Navy Yard - BLDG 92

It is a new free admission museum opened in Nov 2011.

The museum was inside Building 92 inside Brooklyn Navy Yard, where they built big navy ships there. A lot of movies were also made in the area like "Knight & Day"

The museum will give you an insight into the history and devlopment of the navy yard & Brooklyn, but if you want to tour the yard, you may need to join a tour. So far I only know "Urban Oyster" run a private tour (about $18 to $30) to bring people around the yard.

I put this in Off-The-Beaten path because it is not near to any other tourist place. The nearest one is Fulton Landling and Brooklyn Bridge Park, but I would recommend you to take a bus, as it is at least 35 min walk from the navy yard and the streets are not in the safest area.

The Brooklyn Navy yard is now next to the housing projects by Sands St, so I do not recommend tourists attempting to walk there on foot.

You can take the weekend free shuttle operated by Jay St & Willoughby St from 12-6p
