- It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, as Mister Rogers used to say, so it made perfect sense to make a video of my favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn. Nowhere else in NYC has this many beautiful and historic brownstones, townhouses, carriage houses and buildings coupled with an amazing promenade in such well maintained condition. Every street you walk down is picturesque and the view of Manhattan, the Brooklyn Bridge and the harbor is spectacular. This is primarily a residential neighborhood with various bars, restaurants and shops on Montague Street and Henry Street. The Cobble Hill neighborhood is south of here right across Atlantic Avenue, with DUMBO (Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass) bordering it on the north. The Brooklyn Heights area is directly across the East River from Manhattan and connected to it by subways and regular ferry service, which is also easily accessible from Downtown Brooklyn. Columbia Heights, an upscale six-block-long street next to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, is sometimes considered to be its own neighborhood. An interesting oddity in this area can be seen at 45:05 of a subway ventilation shaft and emergency exit stairways disguised as a brownstone building. The windows are blacked out and most people wouldn't even notice it passing by. Pretty cool right? Also cool and around the corner, is the park dedicated to Beastie Boy Adam Yauch aka MCA, who unfortunately passed away in 2012. He grew up in the neighborhood and that exact playground.
Originally referred to as Brooklyn Village, it has been a prominent area of Brooklyn since 1834. The neighborhood is noted for its low-rise architecture and its many brownstone row houses, most of them built prior to the Civil War. It also has an abundance of notable churches and other religious institutions. Brooklyn's first art gallery, the Brooklyn Arts Gallery, was opened in Brooklyn Heights in 1958. In 1965, a large part of Brooklyn Heights was protected from unchecked development by the creation of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, the first such district in New York City. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
Brooklyn received a charter from the state as a village in 1816, which led to streets being laid out in a regular grid pattern, sidewalks being laid, water pumps being installed and the institution of a watch. After 1823, farms begin to be sub-divided into 25-by-100-foot (7.6 by 30.5 m) lots, which were advertised as suitable for a "country retreat" for Manhattanites, leading to a building boom that resulted in Brooklyn Heights becoming the "first commuter suburb", since it was easier and faster to get to Manhattan by ferry than it was to commute from upper Manhattan by ground transportation.

This is an awesome area.
Beautiful Brooklyn, stunning architecture. Our skyline with blue water, overflowing window boxes. Miniature gardens, I laughed at Pineapple St. and Joralemon St.
Happy to see your channel grow. Great description information. Another great tour. Thank you, B 😊
I love this neighborhood. Lots of old world charm. Always a pleasure to stroll around these streets. The promenade view is amazing!
Nice walk Paul. I love the historic old brownstones and tree lined streets. And the iron work is quite pretty too. So wonderful it is all kept up.
Definitely my favorite area in Brooklyn. I’ve always enjoyed walking around there. Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@paulsportal1720 I think the old brownstones are really quite beautiful, especially walking the streets. Would love to see the layout of the inside of one.
I used to work there in the 1960's, It was called the Cranlyn Meat Market> After school I worked part-time making deliveries all over the Heights. I loved the place because most of my buddies would hang out with me after work. We were old buddies from the Heights. Most of them are gone. Its a good thing that I joined the Military and when I got back I find out that they succumbed to drugs. It is so sad because of the fun times that we had. I still live in Dumbo and always will. My father and uncles were soldiers fighting for this country and so will the rest of us. Veteran-USN
Salute and thank you for your service!

Being from Texas you v can couldn’t pay me to live there Concrete Jungle
Likewise, you couldn't pay me to live in Texas.
Why is Flatbush Ave. so dirty with garbage in the gutters and strewn on pavements every where. All the other boroughs are spotless compared to Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn!!??
Highly traveled and walked, with tons of people that don't care to keep the area clean is my guess. You'd think the city would have sanitation handle it better.
