For those looking to explore Bay Ridge, do yourself a huge favor and avoid the suggested map route of Bay Ridge Avenue and Bay Ridge parkway. These are two of the most un-quaint stretches in the entire neighborhood. Take Senator Street down to the water so that you can see the historic district (looks like UWS) and the amazing views from Owls Head (Bliss) Park. Then walk all around the lower 80's streets west of Ridge Blvd. Some grand old survivors in their original glory...Don't forget to check out the grounds of Visitation Academy. Afterwards, plenty of bars and restaurants along 3rd Avenue. Of course the most important rule is to visit Bay Ridge in the springtime when the entire neighborhood is in bloom.
