Bergen St, Crown Heights

Perhaps because of its proximity to Atlantic Ave, there are a lot of stops for your highly specific shopper to be found on Bergen Street. One is Bergen Street Comics - a little comic shop where the staff is very friendly and helpful (if you, like me, aren't exactly a huge comic buff and need a little help navigating), and another is the infamous female-friendly sex shop, Babeland (they also have a location in the Lower East Side), where you can pick up all of the things you are imagining right now.

I am a big fan of the Bergen Street of Prospect Heights and, more especially, of Boreum Hill. In the latter neighborhood this street is a residential one close to the shopping districts of Atlantic Ave, Court Street and Smith Street - which are lined with shoe and clothing shops, boutique restaurants and a general browser's delight.

Wyckoff Street is very far out in Brooklyn but it is beginning to bubble with a cool music scene. There is a place on Wyckoff street where bands play almost every weekend and you can go out there to see new and upcoming music. While you are there, grab some Chinese food or burrito from a local restaurant.
