A gem of nostalgia and design : Jane's Carousel is set within a stunning glass pavilion just off the coast of the East River. Visit this beautifully restored 1922 carousel (you can ride it or just admire its 48 hand-painted horses). Take pictures of the shiny brass and mirrors, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. A short walk through the adjacent park completes this charming stop.
