Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighbourhood is a demure residential area. Located along the southern border of Prospect Park, this modest locale represents an eclectic mix of cultures, cuisines, and architecture. Victorian style homes mingle with brick townhouses, and little awnings demarcate the smattering of local businesses lining Flatbush’s mostly quiet streets—just exercise caution as you head east. Three subways serve this Brooklyn neighbourhood, ensuring an easy trek into Manhattan.
