Travel Spotlight, Brooklyn (Part 1):
Home to over 2.5 million residents, and nicknamed “the city of churches and trees”, Brooklyn is one of the most interesting, diverse and delicious areas in New York. From the architecturally beautiful brownstones of Park Slope, to the historic and lively boardwalks of Coney Island, this borough has something for everyone.
All this week Travel By Andy will spotlight this diverse and delicious borough. We will dig deep into the new hip locale of New York, and show why many people prefer Kings County to any other part of New York today!
Neighborhoods:
Park Slope Located on the western slope of beautiful
Prospect Park, this hip neighborhood is lined with both
trendy restaurants and fashionable shopping along 5th
and 7th Avenue. Stroll down numerous streets to see
some of the most beautiful million dollar brownstones
in New York.
Bay Ridge This largely middle class neighborhood was at one time mostly Irish and Italian, but has seen a large surge of nationalities move in, such as Arab, Greek and Scandinavian. It is popular with young professionals and boast an impressive array of restaurants and nightlife, especially along 3rd avenue.
Greenpoint Dubbed “Little Poland”, this area of Brooklyn has the second largest concentration of Polish immigrants in the United States. The neighborhood’s main hub, Manhattan Avenue, is filled with numerous Polish restaurants, bakeries and butchers.
DUMBO Considered by many locals to be
one of the hippest sections of Brooklyn.
Once full of abandoned warehouses and
factories, it is now home to some of the
most expensive real estate, chic
restaurants and high end shops in the borough.
Williamsburg Home to the artists and hipsters of Brooklyn. This neighborhood is extremely popular with young people, and is home to one of New York’s best indie rock scene.
Coney Island At the very
southern tip of Kings County, you
will find one of its oldest and
most well known areas, while it
has seen better days, you can still
enjoy the miles of boardwalk and
a Nathan’s hot dog on those balmy
summer New York days.
