Though famed as the setting for Saturday Night Fever, Bay Ridge offers much more than pop-culture trivia. Full of rose gardens and rolling hills, the Narrows Botanical Gardens serves up wonderful views of New York Harbor and the Verrazano Bridge. The historic military outpost Fort Hamilton contains the only army museum in the City, Owl’s Head Park has plentiful room to roam (or skate), and the 69th Street Pier attracts local fishermen of every skill level. If the sightseeing works up your appetite, venture to one of the traditional Middle Eastern or Italian eateries for an affordable meal.
