Service Radius / Crown Heights
Crown Heights: culture runs deep.
Crown Heights stretches from Atlantic Avenue south to Empire Boulevard, anchored by the grand Eastern Parkway cultural corridor. This is a neighborhood defined by its diversity: Caribbean, Jewish, and African-American communities have shaped its identity across generations, creating a multi-layered culture reflected in the food, music, and street life.
The Eastern Parkway corridor connects the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden (52 acres, including the famous Sakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival), and the Brooklyn Central Library. The Brooklyn Children's Museum, the world's first children's museum, sits in the heart of the neighborhood.
Franklin Avenue and Nostrand Avenue serve as the neighborhood's commercial corridors, with everything from Caribbean bakeries and roti shops to craft cocktail bars and specialty coffee. The annual West Indian Day Parade on Labor Day draws over 1 million visitors, making it one of the largest cultural celebrations in North America.
