Sightseeing
Stuyvesant & Lexington Aves - If you haven't seen Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" you're severely missing out on movie magic. Stop by the corner where this entire movie was filmed, where Spike holds his summer block party, and where the street signed was renamed in honor of this iconic film.

Shopping
This street has cool finds in clothes, jewelry, home furnishings, and food. On a nice day I like to walk from Lexington to Hancock straight down Tompkins Ave. In the summer on Sundays (sometimes Saturdays) they close this off for a street marketplace featuring all the local businesses.
