Every year, The L Magazine rounds up the 50 “best, worst, and most unusual” blocks in the borough of Kings. Some criteria is fairly predictable — the best people watching block is Brighton Beach Avenue, the best blocks to live on are in Park Slope, Greenpoint, Ditmas, and Brooklyn Heights — but other blocks are awarded with surprising distinctions. The best block for having sex is Waldorf Court in Midwood, because “it’s a really quiet street where you’re not likely to encounter pedestrians, and it’s in a nicely maintained part of Midwood.” The best smelling block is Front Street, between Adams and Washington streets, and the worst smelling block is Broadway, between Kosciuszko Street and Kossuth Place. Check out the article to see some of the best and worst blocks to bike on, the best block for art (in Bushwick), the best block to pretend you’re in New England (in Vinegar Hill), and the best block for mansions (Bay Ridge).

I concur with that stretch across from Marine Park.
3 years ago, in early April, I was sitting on one of the benches there with my dog, in total amazement of the beautiful cherry blossom & dogwood trees in full bloom, right up the hill from the creek. The birds were chirping, & felt very glad this little stretch of still ungentrified southern Brooklyn STAYS that way.
Eeeee-yewww..YECH! That’s some description!
Perhaps he was tossing a Waldorf Salad…
