Metro Tech

The sights and sounds of Brooklyn.
Metro Tech Center, Brooklyn, NY is primary government offices and public administration where court houses and various government offices are located. Other non-​government offices are food eateries, pubs and restaurants. I came here numerous occasions for NYC DCAS and Supreme Court of NYS. Outdoor summer activities as concerts and people street busk for a living near MetroTech Commons happens here.

This is an area I just so happened to visit on a day when I decided to walk from Soco Restaurant and enjoy the sights and sounds of Brooklyn. After having had a good meal and a few drinks I decided to take a walk up Myrtle Avenue (thanks to bartender Brian suggestion) and enjoy myself. Once I got to this place I saw the tables and chairs and the tranquility and peace and quiet it offered in the middle of business I quickly took advantage. I sat down at one of the tables and then was told shortly after that they collect them everyday at 2:30 pm. So I had to move and go to a bench. I took note of all the quick places to eat in the area and never did get myself a quick bite to much on as the day went on
Other than that, a beautiful day such as the one I had sitting outside and clearing your mind a bit from the stresses of work or everyday life, this would be the place to do it

Please. MetroTech is a black hole in the center of an otherwise great area. It is walled off from the surrounding neighborhood, and the only reason you would ever go in there is if you work in one of the buildings. You can’t just cut through this area as a pedestrian– there are so few entrances and exits in and out, it’s much worse than the usual street grid. I live in the neighborhood and f-​ing hate this place. When I have jury duty I walk ten feet in to get a coffee. That’s it. There is an absence of ground floor retail to make you want to go in any further. When I’m running I’ve given up even trying to run through it since cops block one of the exits and won’t even let you WALK out of that exit, even though you can see the street beyond beckoning you
The fact that Ratner, the developer behind this monstrosity, is now developing Atlantic Yards makes me pretty nervous.

downtown brookyln is the place to be.

This area has changed for the better over the years since I was a kid.
I typically come here to check the summer concerts and to zone out in the tranquility afterwork — and while I’m there grab a bite to nosh on. :)

Metro-​Tech located in Downtown Brooklyn is my go to location for a quick bite (Subway, ABP, Metro Café, or Starbucks). It is also my preferred causeway to my residence. The place is well lit and safe.
Also they have a TKTS location here so it beats going to Times Square for discounted Broadway Tickets.
And I pay more ConEdison bill at the service center near the Subway Entrance.
