In the other direction 8th Ave is the commercial center of a huge China Town with lots of inexpensive Chinese, a few Vietnamese, Korean, Thai and Japanese restaurants. We get great dumplings, salad rolls, Pad Thai’s and more there, most deliver very fast.
All in all, though it is not a high-end dining area there is a surprising level of diversity to be found reflecting our diverse and very ‘Brooklyn’ neighborhood, and for breakfast and regular food everything is within short walking distance (the Sunset Park Diner is an American diner right on the corner of 5th Ave/39th St, a 5 minute walk). Sunset Park is the southern extension of Park Slope, one of Brooklyn’s most attractive areas with restaurants, cafés and shopping (5 minutes by subway).
The apartment is a one-minute, one-block walk from Sunset Park, a park with public basket ball courts, chess board tables, a large playground, a summer outdoor sprinkler and - a particular bonus in tropical Brooklyn - one of this borough's best public outdoor pools (open July/Aug, no admission). Brooklyn communal life in a safe environment with a spectacular view of Manhattan and the waterway leading up to it. Sunsets a specialty.
Very convenient commute to Manhattan (5-10 min walk to subway, N, D express-trains 10 min's to Union Square, local R and M trains 5 min’s to Pk Slope).
We ask our guests to respect the fact that SPVH is a private residence and to keep noise to a minimum. No parties, no smoking (including stoops and side walk in front of the house).
