Fort Greene

A quality hospital, a quality park, a top high school, and a handful of nice restaurants. It has to shake a bad image, but it’s only a matter of time.

Fort Greene is a beautiful neighborhood that is a few minutes away from Lower Manhattan & is filled with historical brownstones, a variety of restaurants, divey & classy bars, & the Atlantic Center for shopping. What I enjoy most about the neighborhood is there is always something for everybody.
Besides eating, drinking, & shopping, you can catch a show or movie at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a basketball game or concert at Barclays Center, or take a walk & relax in Fort Greene Park.
Even though Fort Greene currently has new residential projects, it has preserved its architectural history from the 19^th century. It is known for its beautiful tree-​lined streets & for the Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower, which use to be the tallest building in Brooklyn.
Fort Greene is small & can be explored in half a day. It is also within walking distance from other cool neighborhoods like Prospect Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, & Clinton Hill.
Several years ago, the Atlantic Terminal provided a new entry to connect to the MTA so getting to the neighborhood is more convenient. There are several transportation systems available in the area: B, C, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, & 5.
