This Saturday we’ll explore downtown Brooklyn. We’ll start the day at the Brooklyn MetroTech area. Possibly New York’s answer to Silicon Valley (…we’ll see).We’ll meet at the Myrtle Promenade which is in the heart of the heart of the MetroTech complex in an area called “The Commons".
In the afternoon we’ll enjoy sketching two blocks away in Brooklyn’s Civic Center - the Columbus Park area that includes the the modern Brutalist style Brooklyn Supreme Court and classic old Greek Revival style Borough Hall building.
