Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn

4.6

#5 of 9 in Neighborhoods in Brooklyn

Carroll Gardens is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Taking up around 40 city blocks, it is bounded by Degraw and Warren Streets (north), Hoyt and Smith Streets (east), Ninth Street or the Gowanus Expressway (south) and the Brooklyn Queens (BQE) and Gowanus Expressways (west). The neighborhoods that surround it are Cobble Hill to the northwest, Boerum Hill to the northeast, Gowanus to the east, Red Hook to the south and southwest, and the Columbia Street Waterfront District to the west.Originally considered to be part of South Brooklyn or, more specifically, Red Hook, the neighborhood started to have its own identity in the 1960s. The new name came from Charles Carroll, an Irish immigrant who was the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, and whose name was already attached to Carroll Street and Carroll Park. The name also reflects the large front gardens of brownstones in the Carroll Gardens Historic District and elsewhere in the neighborhood.

Cheio de lojinhas simpáticas, algumas bem cool, outras mais tradicionais, restaurantes, em suma um bom lugar para viver longe da correria de Manhattan. more »

Full of Nice shops, some of them very cool, other more traditional restaurants, all in all a good place to live away from the rush of Manhattan.

Mir hat es hier echt gut gefallen. Könnte mir hier auch vorstellen zu leben, da der hektische Alltag aus Manhattan verschwunden ist. Eignet sich gut für einen Spaziergang. more »

I liked to be here real good. Could also imagine to live because the hectic everyday life from Manhattan is gone. Is suitable for a walk.
