Heading north, the amount of activation increases. There are all kinds of shops and places to eat and drink to be discovered. The Brooklyn street art scene in this part of town, as would be expected, keeps on throwing up gems.
This is the part of town where you’ll find Mast Brothers Chocolate, Brooklyn Brewery, and other companies you might have heard about if you’re from overseas.
You can’t just take the street art at face value. If you come across something like what’s in the picture below, each image has its own story to tell.
It’s not all warehouses and industrial buildings. There are some really nice brick and brownstone places in this part of Brooklyn and it can go from being very gritty to being very charming quite quickly It’s a very diverse and eclectic part of New York.
I’m amazed at how many people skip Brooklyn when they visit New York, especially given just how close it really is to Manhattan.
