One of Brooklyn’s oldest roads, Flatbush Avenue is where Brooklynites live, eat, shop, socialize, and relax. Stores, restaurants, landmarks, parks, and historical neighborhoods line the four-lane avenue, from the East River in the north to Rockaway Peninsula in the south. Don't miss highlights such as Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Grand Army Plaza, and the 1920s-built Kings Theatre. Flatbush's innumerable eateries serve everything from Caribbean to classic American food.
Explore the avenue’s sights, shops, and restaurants on foot; and turn off to delve into old-school neighborhoods such as Park Slope, Flatbush, and Ditmas Park, where the streets are flanked with brownstones and colonial-inspired mansions. Take a walking tour of Flatbush Avenue and its Flatbush district for in-depth and informed look at the area, and are ideal for history and architecture buffs.
