During the winter if there is enough snow fall kids can go sleighing at Owls head park. For the adults there are many pubs, coffee shops and restaurants for your entertainment needs. Mom’s can go for their weekend mani pedi at the local nail salon all close to Bay Ridge. There’s even a farmers market a few blocks away. We have it all here in Bay Ridge. I’m lucky to be part of this neighborhood. "
