Fountain Ave, East New York

A variety of businesses line this street, though there isn’t much in the way of “a lot of fun.” This is what I refer to as a residentially convenient street, with various goods and services being offered to the people who live in the neighborhood, but to an outsider, it’s not worth the trek. These things can be found in your neighborhood. Fortunately, everything is compact. In New York City, you’re wise to know that food runs on the avenues, not on the streets, so for lunch, you should try a nearby street

This place is a disaster area, ecologically speaking. Familiar probably only to those who have to use the Belt Parkway, and that's a plus, because you don't want to be exposed to this landfill any other way. Supposedly there are talks to rehabilitate the area into a natural preserve of some sort, but so far it's just been talk. Stay clear of this place.
