Great news re: Landmarks Commissioners surveying the streets of Sunset Park, but I hope they don’t stop at 59th Street, as the article implies. 62nd, 63rd & 64th Streets between 4th & 5th are intact rows of barrel-fronted limestone-like rowhouses, and 63rd Street is particularly beautiful, one of the nicest in the entire neighborhood. Even 60th Street has some intact beauty, between 5th & 6th Aves. I love all of Sunset Park, though, the protections cannot come soon enough.
