“One place quite obvious is along 37th street, between Fort Hamilton and 9th Avenues”
Uh, I think that might be Greenwood Cemetary you were seeing.
Unless that’s 36th street. Which by the way, has some of the nicest views in Bklyn. In fact, its a very popular bird watching destination (yeah, sounds weird, but its true)
Can’t speak about Flatbush, but BP (at least to us BPers) is 40th – 59th / 11th – 19th.
Epicenter is 13th ave / 50th, which is very noisy and abrupt. As you drift outwards, it gets quieter and nicer
