Don’t let the name put you off: Dead Horse Bay is a must-visit destination for treasure-hunting Brooklynites. A one-time site of a land dump and multiple horse-rendering plants, the bay is now home to miscellaneous trash from decades gone by. Expect to encounter everything from toys from the 1900s to old hand guns to the occasional horse bone.
