Not sure where to start? We’ve mapped out the perfect weekend itinerary—all walkable, budget-friendly, and designed to make experience at Webster into something you’ll always cherish.
Saturday: Explore, Eat, and Enjoy the City
Morning: Coffee + Park Time
Start your weekend with a stroll and a strong cup of coffee. Pick up a latte and pastry from Devoción or L’imprimerie (both are local favorites within a few blocks of Webster). Then, take your drink to Abolitionist Place Park, a beautifully designed green space that just so happens to be right next door. Many Webster residents can actually see the park from their rooms! And the rooftop view? Even better. With winding walking paths, open lawns, and a quiet atmosphere, it’s the ideal spot to start your day without ever leaving the block!
Midday: Local Shops & Lunch at Dekalb Market Hall
After a leisurely morning, it’s time to dive into the energy of Downtown Brooklyn and explore some of the neighborhood’s most iconic markets – Fort Greene Greenmarket, Brooklyn Flea, or venture a bit further to Williamsburg or Prospect Park for a culinary adventure at Smorgasborg. With dozens of food vendors under one roof, stay local and stroll through Dekalb Market Hall. From dumplings to vegan comfort food and even the famous Katz’s Delicatessen– you’ll never be short of tasty options and global flavors.
Afternoon: A Browse Through Art, History, and Culture
After lunch, take some time to experience something that inspires you. Walk over to BRIC House, a creative hub just off Fulton Street featuring free exhibitions, artist talks, and local performances.
If you’re in the mood for something slower, stop by The Center for Fiction in Downtown Brooklyn. It’s a cozy spot to browse books, catch a reading, or just sip a coffee in a quiet corner. Whether you’re feeling social or solo, there’s always a space nearby to match your vibe.
Evening: Dinner, City Views and a Ride on the Cyclone
Wrap up the day with dinner and skyline views at Time Out Market in DUMBO. With both indoor and rooftop seating, it’s a great spot for food, photos, and a walk along the waterfront. On certain weekends, you can even catch a local event or pop-up happening in the area. 
Feeling more adventurous? Hop on the subway and head down to Coney Island. Grab a bite at Nathan’s, stroll the boardwalk, or just watch the waves roll in. It’s a fun change of pace that still feels very New York, and it’s especially magical on a summer evening.
Sunday: Break a Sweat, Tidy Up
Morning: Take It Slow
There’s no pressure on Sundays. Sleep in, throw on a playlist, and take it slow in your room for a bit. Or, if you’re in the mood to be productive, you can get a head start on chores; take advantage of Webster’s complimentary on-site laundry and fitness center, or grab a vacuum from TULU to tidy up your space. Whatever your pace, everything you need is right at your fingertips, whenever you need it.
Midday: Brunch with Friends
Head out for a late brunch at French Louie, Café Luluc, or one of the many cozy cafés along Smith Street. It’s the perfect chance to catch up with roommates or explore somewhere new at your own pace.
Afternoon: Window Shopping & Wandering
Spend your afternoon wandering Fulton Street, home to a mix of local boutiques, national brands, and go-to spots like City Point—where you can browse, buy, or just take in all the city life around you. It’s an easy way to unwind without going far… and maybe even treat yourself while you’re at it.
Evening: Ferry Ride or Promenade Stroll
Looking for a relaxing way to close out the weekend? Catch the NYC Ferry for a scenic ride, or take a walk along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. The views of Manhattan are beautiful any time of the year, and it’s the perfect spot to reflect and reset before you head into the week ahead.
