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 18th 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.
