Brooklyn 's most visited and most attractive neighborhood is Brooklyn Heights , whose tree-lined streets seem a world away from the bustle of Manhattan. More specific reasons to leave Manhattan island are the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens , a half-dozen more subways stops to the east. There's also Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's Prospect Park , which for many is an improvement on their more famous bit of landscaping in Manhattan, Central Park. Aficionados of seedy seaside resorts will love Coney Island .
