A place that many outsiders see filth, but many see home. Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York is truly diverse in terms of culture. Many people say it’s mostly Hispanic culture and many others say its Chinese culture. But it’s a big mix of both. Sunset Park ranges from 65th street to 17th street. In avenues it ranges from first avenue to nineth. The Hispanic part of Sunset Park is fourth and fifth avenue. There you can find all type of Hispanic cuisines throughout 60th street and 20th street. And when I say all type I mean it if Youd like Columbian dinner you could get it if you want a Mexican lunch there it is in all different types of forms and locations. Sunset Park is the place if you’re craving any Hispanic food, and I mean any. But let’s say you don’t want any Hispanic food let’s say you want some Chinese food well seventh and eighth avenue is where you want to be. It is Brooklyn’s China town.
What would 24 hours in Sunset Park look like? Well sunset park is home to the N and R train. It is very accessible to everyone. Your Ideal stop would be 59th street. I would recommend walking through Sunset Park as grabbing a bike would just ruin the experience. As you get out of 59th Street you’ll be on 4th Avenue and when you look around you will be able to see a glimpse of what 5th Avenue is really going to be like. You’ll see a lot of Hispanic restaurant’s street vendors and some Chinese bakeries. And I would say grab a bite. I would recommend getting a tamale from a street vendor as a starter and making your way up to 5th avenue. When you get there that’s when you’ll see just how much diversity there is. The first thing you’ll notice is the church on 60th Street as it’s the tallest building there. And when you walk through the streets, you’ll notice the grocery stores that feel like markets in Mexico. From shoe stores to Dominican food to Mexican to Columbian food as you make your way you will pick something up.
When you make it to 44th street if you want an amazing view of Manhattan go to the main attraction Sunset Park. That park is what gave this side of Brooklyn its name. It is a very large, beautiful park where the community gets together to play basketball, to play soccer, to do pretty much anything. But if Youd like a closer look go down to first avenue and 48th street to get to Bush terminal soccer field. A small park with two soccer fields and with one of the best views of Manhattan. As your day concludes I recommend going to 8th Avenue to check out the last best bit of Sunset Park. There you’ll find some of the best boba in Brooklyn and some of the best Chinese markets. If you want fresh shrimp to take back home, then get it because sunset park is filled with tons of it. I would recommend food, but you’ll have to try it for yourself as everything in Sunset Park has its own rich taste.
