If you are one of the many students embarking on this next chapter, we offer you not only our congratulations and best wishes but also a non-exhaustive collection of thoughts and advice to support your journey. Do you have advice for architecture students as the new school season begins, beyond those set out below? Let us know in the comments.

Archinect City Guide takes on Brooklyn today with the help of Quilian Riano, dean of Pratt Institute’s School of Architecture, founder of DSGN AGNC, Architectural League of New York board member, Architecture Lobby activist, and former senior editor for Archinect in its early days, among many other hats he wears in the design and academic community.  Riano shares with us his favorite Brooklyn spots for the city's best donuts (he recommends trying the pistachio), a hot bowl of salmon ramen, and a selection of must-visit sites for architecture and design aficionados visiting the borough. Using the handy Google Map he prepared for us makes finding all these places a breeze! Are you a Brooklyn local with your own go-to spots? Or have a city you think we should cover next? Share your thoughts, suggestions, and favorite places in the comments. For Manhattan tips, check out our recent City Guide with Julia Gamolina of Madame Architect.
