"Nice and cheap shopping place"

It’s just the name, nothing so grand about it. There is a small bridge called the Grand street Bridge, nice place. You can drive on it by car or just walk by the footways at the side, made for pedestrians. There are few buildings worth importance. One of them is the school of business and technology. Where shopping is concerned, lots of discount is in store for you. Retail stores often have discount schemes here and you can buy some expensive stuff at extremely cheap rates. Wombat and Onieal’s are some coolest restaurants on Grand street.

"Lovely little place to meet your shopping needs."

Flatbush Avenue is a major and important street in Brooklyn. One of the reason, this street being famous is that from here you can get an access to the Beverly road having many high end stores and celebrities being spotted here most of the time. Brooklyn Public library, Academy of Music and Prospect Park are some important landmarks situated here. I preferred eating here than shopping; that was much cheaper than shopping. Public transport is the only possible way to move across the street as taking a private cab can give you problems with parking.

"Colorful And vibrant Place."

My friend took me to this street called Bedford Street just to help me do away with my boredom. We went by her car which she parked much before the street vibe started. The street was so vibrant and colorful that I did not even mind walking on this longest street of Brooklyn. The air on this street was peppy and young. Young boys and girls were just hanging out here at coffee shops and restaurants. Some of them were also earning by setting up displays of their talent in form of paintings, music or funny acts. Clothing and accessories are expensive but quality wise they are simply best.

"A truly entertaining place to be."

Coney Island is famous for its tourism. The place is full of activity and fun. The street is among the most visited streets in Brooklyn. This street host many amusement programs and activities on this street. Children will surely enjoy this place. There is a roller coater and a giant wheel here. Few walks away from Coney Island Avenue there is a pizza restaurant called Totonno Pizzeria Napolitano. The place is simply awesome and pizzas are no doubt delicious. You can easily get over here either through public transport or private car. Small shops and boutique stores are located down here selling some great stuff.

"A commerce oriented Street"

From the Nassau street one roads leads to the Flushing avenue. It runs between Nassau and Maspeth. It is quite long and a commerce oriented street. Stores and malls here give you many shopping opportunities and that too within your budget. The Chasuna mall corporation is the best place for shopping. You can see many artists performing their talents across the streets. There is also this place called Life Café NINE83. The place is simply great only if you have extra patience. Service is just too slow but snack and food is oh so delicious.

"A nice and decent street."

The street has a decent ethnic look. Every nook and corner of this street gives a feeling of traditional cultures. Though this is a street in New York, it has an essence of Russia at some part of it. You will find many people talking Russian, especially among the Jewish population. For a snack purpose, I preferred the Mc Donald’s over other fast food joints. I had been so many times to Mc Donald’s and so much used to food there, that I could not help my self to other available options. Transport here will give you a comfortable feel on your trip. Whatever may be the buses and trains were not congested at all, could have been since the day was a Sunday. New taste added to my tongue was from the Kings Highway grill. Chicken Lula kebab was appetizing.

"Plenty of entertaintment on this street."

From the Flatbush Avenue, I started off for the Linden Boulevard. The street is very broad and on weekdays traffic is maximum. The easiest way to get along Linden Boulevard is to take a public bus and the buses here do not have names but are given small alphabetical codes like Q9, B20 etc. Entertainment is no less over here. At ever nook and corner you will find entertainment areas like restaurants, lounges, music stores and theaters but at some points there are empty plot of lands. Food is plenty and good like on any other street in New York.

"A nice residential place to live in"

Ocean Avenue is a main street running parallel to the Coney Island Avenue. That was our next stop from Coney’s island. As I was walking down the street, all that I could see were beautiful buildings and residential apartments. Even the restaurants and hotels here looked similar to residential houses. Anytime you go to any restaurant, it feels as if you have come to some relatives place for supper. If I too had a million dollar fortune like those industrialist, I too would have bought a vacation home here. The weather is so pleasant, perfect for a family. Since it was only a day visit, I had to find some place to satisfy my hungry belly for which I found the W-Restaurant. Its name was strange and I too did not bother asking about its history coz my stomach was craving for food. All I had was a cup of sweet red wine and meat steaks. The prices are really high.

"Didn't find the street amusing"

This was the street I was longing to visit. I had made a picture in my mind that this street must be having some amusement parks and fun festivals. This only turned out to be a dream and imagination that I had from the name of the street. It was just a plain simple street, not much also to talk about, but I still wonder while was it named some thing like Rockaway Parkway. There is a publication house called the Freedo publications and an educational institution named as Canarsie High School located here. I also remember the Yummy Yummy Chinese restaurant at Rockaway parkway. The name is too creamy to forget

"Nice place to hangout."

Stillwell Avenue is a main route in Brooklyn. It continues from Surf Avenue intersecting at Neptune Avenue. The street also seemed to be a busy one as they are many office buildings and cars that can be seen parked out there. The sky was cloudy and looked as if it would rain any moment. But somehow we got through this thoroughfare without any problem. There is something called the ‘Sunrise auto group’, a store dealing with automobiles and spares. Our cab driver halted there to purchase some spares. I still feel Coney Island was the best that I visited. I enjoyed the mermaid parade that they had. Traveling is no big issue. You can choose from options like, bus, subway or a cab. If shopping is the only thing for being over here then Coney Island needs to be your main junction. You will find lots of clothing and accessories here. I bought for myself a custom designed T- shirt and souvenirs for my friends. The roller coaster was huge and spectacular. I really wished to go but avoided as it all looked fun from far but too scary when the ride begins.
