Forgotten Corners of Bay Ridge
This week, Forgotten NY returns to the Brooklyn of his childhood, visiting familiar parts of Bay Ridge and going off the beaten path in Dyker Beach and Bath Beach. We enjoyed checking out some of the Tudor apartment buildings that dot the area as well as the old cottages on Bath Avenue. As a bonus, it was interesting to see the shots of the Bay Ridge campus of Poly Prep (whose clock tower is pictured above), where the middle and upper schoolers go.

Agreed. So nice to see my childhood home. I'm so sorry that they're massacring it with condo's.

No one ever knows where Dyker Heights is, so I just say Bay Ridge...Forgotten did a nice photo tour of 13th Avenue, as well..St. Bernadette!
