A short trip on the G train to beautiful Fort Greene park is definitely worth it! Plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes surround the park. This is also walkable from the condo if you like longer strolls.

Neighborhoods
Bed-Stuy is lively and colorful. It is know for its tree-lined brownstone streets. As with every neighborhood in our great city, use appropriate caution when navigating - especially alone and at night. Generally it is a friendly, albeit sometimes loud and raucous, neighborhood. We love it!!

Getting around
The G train is less than a block from the condo.
Travel toward “Church Ave” to go further south into Brooklyn. Travel toward “Court Square” to go north toward Queens.
