Visiting Flatbush

With Jamaican, Caribbean, Pakistani, African-American and Latino communities, Flatbush is one of NYC’s most diverse neighborhoods.

 

Known for its busy commercial district, the area also features quaint, quiet streets lined with Victorian mansions – especially in adjacent Ditmas Park – and landmarks like the Flatbush Reformed Church, whose current building was constructed in the late 18^th century. The neighborhood lies just south of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, home to the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Gardens as well as a wealth of restaurants celebrating the various food cultures of the area ethnicities.
