East 32nd St, East Flatbush

On East 32nd Street is another calm street nestled in the belly of Brooklyn. There’s not much going on here, but I did appreciate the shade. There were also a lot of families! I grew up in the Midwest, and so cosmopolitan child-rearing always made me cringe. If I had a baby here, I think before we left the hospital, my newborn better be walking! I feel for those mothers who have to use those strollers in the subway. Here though, if you’re more into driving, the village is very accessible and could be managed by a new family.
