Closing Bell: Your Brooklyn Blocks
The L Magazine released a 50 Best Blocks in Brooklyn article today and man, does it cover everything. Best block for ugly condos? (4th Avenue between 4th and 5th.) For Righting History’s Wrongs? (Malcolm X between Monroe and Madison.) How about for people watching? (Fulton and Lafayette.) The last five blocks listed are those best…
The L Magazine released a 50 Best Blocks in Brooklyn article today and man, does it cover everything. Best block for ugly condos? (4th Avenue between 4th and 5th.) For Righting History’s Wrongs? (Malcolm X between Monroe and Madison.) How about for people watching? (Fulton and Lafayette.) The last five blocks listed are those best to live on: Verandah Place in Cobble Hill, Oak Street in Greenpoint, Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights, Argyle Road in Ditmas Park, and finally Fillmore Place in Williamsburg. What say you? Have they missed any categories?
The 50 Best Blocks in Brooklyn [The L]
Verandah Place by fake is the new real
Or Montgomery Place for that matter??
I do agree about Verandah being very special.
No love for South Oxford?
Or 3rd Street in PS?
I did not read the entire list, but was South Portland Avenue in Fort Greene listed? If not, this list is bogus.
You know what is a good block?
The one you live on!
People Watching, History, Beutiful, Ugly? Move back to LA!
Warning: hate ahead.
Also could be described as the “I happened to be on this block once and was very drunk/and my favorite song was playing on my iPod/kissed my significant other/kissed a stranger/found a $20.”
I guess the collective wisdom of people who go out more than me is worth something, but I’ll never remember this list and probably differ on a lot of it.
You know what’s a good block? The corner of Schenectady and Cortelyou. Right near the cemetery.
there’s a ton of inaccurate shite in that article.
Hey, Argyle Road was developed around 1900-1910. It is Victorian STYLE, not Victorian ERA which defines architecture. There are many Victorian Style homes being built new, and are Victorian Style.
I was going to say the same thing, Bessie.
Photo of Verandah Place between Henry and Clinton Streets. Adjacent to Cobble Hill Park. Cute, Cute, Cute, I lived a block away. But the noise from the park playground, and No Parking on Verandah Place are killer.
