The best bicycle routes to explore Brooklyn

Jacqueline VanDusen has ridden more than 4,000 miles for three years to cover every block in Brooklyn, tracking per epic project on Instagram on and on interactive website.

When a graphic designer based in Williamsburg completed his epic project on Saturday, here are three visits that he recommends to see the jewels the borough has to offer.

Circle of 50 miles

Navigation Kings County is not for the faint of heart. But on the plus side, the cyclist promises steady stellar winds coming down from the water for most of the trip.

From the VanDusen neighborhood in Williamsburg, he set out to drive along the East River and New York harbor, where the docks and other stops offer the main vantage point of the Manhattan skyline.

Pedal forward, under the Verrazzano Bridge, to Bay Ridge and Gravesend before hitting the sandy beach on Coney Island. Pass the waterfront bungalows on Gerritsen Beach and the seaside mansions in the Mill Basin.

After Canarsie and East New York, turn inland to walk along the Brooklyn-Queens border back to Williamsburg.

Brewery tour

VanDusen’s “boozin ‘on a bicycle” tour begins Kings County Collective Brewers, at 381 Troutman St., in Bushwick. The first to operate in this neighborhood for more than 40 years, KCBC operates a 5,000 square foot warehouse and storage space.

From there, head to the East Williamsburg hoppy places Grimm (990 Metropolitan Ave.) and Interboro Spirit and Ales (942 Grand St.).

Furthermore, Brewing three of us at Greenpoint (113 Franklin St.). After that, go up southwest, parallel to the East River, until you crash Brewing Transmitter at Brooklyn Navy Yard (141 Flushing Ave.). End the day with happy hour at Refunds (545 President St. in Gowanus).

All stops offer their brews to go and obey the long-distance social mandate and dine out of town.

Bed-Stuy is the best neighborhood in Brooklyn, said VanDusen.

Rows of beautiful city houses have filled the camera scrolls, but it is the independent business associations that must be supported that make this trip worth exploring. The 8-mile trip he mapped through this area made it possible for several food and beverage stops.

Highlights of the route include Southern convenience food places Peach (two outposts, at 415 Tompkins Ave. and 393 Lewis Ave.), old school bakery Doc. Cake Shop (214 Bainbridge St.) and soul food combined Ma-n-Pop (349 Lewis Ave.). Take grub to go or eat out starting Monday.

Clean the trip with drinks from the local watering hole Do or Dive (1108 Bedford Ave.).

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
