Sunset Park is a section of South Brooklyn that can no longer be ignored. Its attitude is charming and its energy is electric – but its abundance of nearby parks and greenspaces make it a serene part of New York City that offers plenty of room to breathe.
Local eateries abound in this corner of the city. This area’s stretch of 4th Avenue comes to life thanks to an array of locally owned restaurants, charming coffee shops, and understated ethnic eateries. This area’s multicultural history gives it a diverse point of view, meaning you’ll be able to experience foods and flavors from all corners of the world. Nearby Melody Lanes also offers fun for all ages. Nearby, Industry City houses eclectic shopping experiences – shop for all things plant related at Little Shop of Soil or browse for vintage treasures at CityFoundry.
Greenspaces abound in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. 875 4th Avenue is located just blocks from New York’s storied Green-Wood Cemetery – a sprawling 478-acre greenspace that offers a serene escape from the city. On sunny days, stroll along the 35-acre waterfront of Bush Terminal Piers Park for a relaxing change of pace. This neighborhood’s namesake – Sunset Park – also cannot be missed. Located high on a hill, people often set up picnics on the lawn to catch breathtaking sunset views of the Manhattan skyline.
Brooklyn has long been a place where creativity and ingenuity are at the forefront. This is perhaps no more apparent than at Industry City. Housed in converted industrial buildings, this vibrant creative hub is one of Sunset Park’s crown jewels. Along with concerts, art classes, gallery nights, and creative showcases, this vibrant locale is home to an array of hip eateries, cocktail bars, artisanal boutiques, and inviting outdoor spaces.
875 4th Avenue’s location is second to none. With MTA’s D and N train two blocks away, you’re just a 20-minute train ride into Manhattan and a 2-minute train ride to the Barclays Center. An express bus stop located at 36th Street allows you to traverse boroughs, while easy access to the nearby Brooklyn Queens Expressway makes it easy to travel the city by car.
