i found out about this place via the NY Times<\/em> “The Scoop”<\/a> iphone app (the two people at the front desk were ecstatic<\/em> to hear they made a Times<\/em> app, since the entire experience has only been open for about half a year, but in my experience, the app is pretty good about telling you what’s new and great in NYC). the main museum in building 92<\/a>, though small, is a) free, and b) informative and fun (what more can you ask for?).<\/p>\n

i didn’t think i was going at the right time for a tour (despite it saying so on the website, duh), but lo and behold, there was a sign outside proclaiming a tour of the navy yard<\/a> at 2:30, and i got there at 1:30. what timing! (the museum takes a little over an hour, i’d say.) it’s admittedly a bit spendy at $30 for two hours, but the way i see it, on a day pushing the high 90s, if not 100 degrees, the air-conditioned bus was a godsend, the museum itself is free so you’re getting a deal there, and the kicker for me, i overheard the tour guide say “abandoned hospital”. magic words for someone who likes abandoned and run-down things\/urban exploration (in all honesty, i was sold from the get-go; i clearly love industrial\/post-industrial sites<\/a>!). if you’re ever in brooklyn, this tour is worth the two hours and chunk of change.<\/p>\n
