Brooklyn Heights

The Promenade, the historic district’s townhouse blocks, and the first Manhattan-skyline view every Brooklyn visitor gets.

Brooklyn Heights is the borough's oldest historic district and still the template for what a brownstone neighborhood looks like. The Promenade delivers the skyline view that anchors Brooklyn's image, and the townhouse blocks radiating from Montague Street host a quieter residential register than the Fulton Street commercial strip. Licensed retail here tends to cluster closer to Cadman Plaza and the Fulton transit corridor rather than deep in the landmarked blocks. The cannabis-aware evening follows the Heights pattern: a walk along the Promenade at dusk, dinner on Montague, and home.
