Brooklyn/Greenwood and New Utrecht Halal Travel Guide

• Sunset Park is often called New York City's little Puerto Rico and Brooklyn's Chinatown and is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City. Located just less than 20 minutes away from Brooklyn/Downtown|Downtown Brooklyn, Sunset Park is a place for all families to come and shop and local residents can be seen running errands in the heart of the neighborhood along 5th Avenue between 60th and 44th Streets. Its hilly terrain gives magnificent views of Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan, Staten Island, Jersey City and the nearby Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Besides the Hispanic part of the neighborhood filled with families of Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican and other backgrounds and the Chinese also put Sunset Park on the map with its countless Chinese restaurants found on 8th Avenue between 60th and 40th Streets.
• Borough Park contains the biggest Chasidic Yahudi community in the city. You will see lots of kosher foods on sale and retail outlets that are closed every Friday night and Saturday but open on Sunday, due to religious rules. If these things are unfamiliar to you, a trip to Borough Park may be worthwhile.
• Kensington is located south of Brooklyn/Prospect Park|Prospect Park. and is the most diverse neighborhood in Brooklyn and is one of the most diverse in the United States. It currently is one of the "up and coming" neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Many new trendy restaurants and boutiques have opened, making this neighborhood a hotspot. It is served by the Friday and G trains at Church Avenue and the Q train at Beverly Road and Cortelyou Road.
• Bay Ridge has traditionally been a residential Irish-Italian-Norwegian neighborhood, but recently has seen an influx of Arab, Asian and Russian families as well. The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connects to here from Staten Island and Fort Hamilton, a United States Army Base, is here as well. There is a great variety of good values in food to be had in this neighborhood, especially on 3rd Avenue. The neighborhood is also one of the top bar areas in the non-downtown area of Brooklyn.
• Bensonhurst used to be Italian as far as the eye could see, but it now contains Albanian, (Pakistani), Korean, Chinese, Mexican and many Eastern European immigrants as well. Nonetheless, it is still the center of Brooklyn's Italian community and is one of the best-known Italian-American neighborhoods in the United States. The train runs above ground and it is a lively place with an Old New York feel. Many of the best "unknown" restaurants in Brooklyn (known locally but often ignored by the Manhattan-based establishment) can be found in Bensonhurst. Get there by taking the D train to 18th or 20th Avenues or Bay Parkway.
