Great train display (it's right around Christmas/New year when we went)!!! Very small area though, so strollers are not allowed in. There is an area to leave them outside it, but it is not monitored, so if you have a stroller, have someone go with you that can stand outside and make sure it doesn't get stolen!!! Other than that, food/drink isn't allowed in either. They have a section that is essentially a gift shop with a bunch of train/transit stuff, and there is a smaller area that has some Thomas the train stuff for sale. There was a guy at the door that would tell you not to bring your stoller/food in who could have been nicer, but it was nice to have another guy that was basically dedicated to answering any questions that you might have!

Overall, a great place to go with kids off any age! Plus there's all sorts of nice food right downstairs. Wonderful accessibility since it's right in Grand Central. What more could you ask for!!!

Really wonderful church. Very nice and accepting. Everyone is welcome. The people there are wonderful.

This is the kind of church I wish all churches were like.

They also have child care here that seems pretty good. The classrooms actually have windows (most of the others around here don't). Plus they have a nice playground in the back too (they have it open to the public certain evenings during the summer I think).

Check out their website for more info!

One of the best regular supermarkets in the neighborhood with decent prices. That do have some organic stuff but not a whole lot. What really surprised me though was these compotes I found in the packaged (non refrigerated) juices section. They are Apri brand and made in Armenian and are absolutely delicious and wonderfully healthy! They had options if quince, peach, cherry, cornelian cherry, or cherry apricot. I'm really excited about them and plan on buying more! The one issue I had was that the barcode didn't work at checkout. Please add it to your system Keyfood!!!

They have everything here from fruits and veggies to deodorant and soap, eggs, juices, beer, ice cream, frozen foods, bread, ice, etc.

They now have a frozen organic baby food package in their freezer case (by the vegetables) to easily make your own organic baby food for those who are interested.

I'm really happy with their self checkout kiosks they put in not too long ago. They definitely get you checked out quicker and less wait time.

Watch their sales, they have some pretty good deals sometimes!

There is plenty of room to run around and play. There are actually 2 play grounds in this one Park and an area with swings (some for babies and others for bigger kids). There are also bathrooms here which can be really convenient (and a water fountain). The play grounds themselves are a little bit older, but not too bad. It's right be the promenade so you get a pretty good view especially while chasing kids on the play ground structure. There are also trees here so when it's really hot out, you get a little bit of shade (from the trees and the nearby buildings too).

All in all a nice place to go in Brooklyn Heights, and in the summertime you can anyways head over to Montague street for some ice cream!
