Fulton St
"Place with Fun Surprises"
If you want to go shopping in Brooklyn and see everyone you have ever met, go to Fulton Street. Fulton Mall has plenty of great shopping places, with stores you have seen before and stores that you haven't. Food is everywhere, but crime is lurking everywhere as well. I used to go to the burger king there everyday when I was younger, but the last time I went there it was dirty. Lots of fun surprises, eh?

"Its all about the sneakers"
Sneakers and footwear is an important part of most mens life and heading to New York is a form of heaven for any footwear junkie. Whether its Converse or Nike, some of the greatest shoes I’ve ever worn have hailed from America and the fact that there are so many sneaker stores in the one area makes this the place to come and see. And you know you can bring the wife or girlfriend because she would never be able to tell you off for looking at shoes, even though these sneakers may not be the ones she wants to buy.

Fulton St
"A shopping area in Brooklyn"
Fulton Mall is a pedestrian street in Brooklyn. It stretches between Flatbush Av and Smith St. This is one of the largest commercial centers in New York City, and hosts an impressive number of stores. It is well connected to different subway lines (A, C, F, M, N, R, Q, 2, 3, 4, 5, G) and buses. It is also within walking distance from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

"So much to do !!!"
there is a smorgasbord of things to do here. So many different types of restaurants from ali's roti shop to cake man raven to the thai restaurant on Clinton. There is also gym and dance studios with really cool events. Then there is that great hardware store on Washington with the skylight. Fulton has come a long way from the 90s.

"great for tourists"
This is a great street because it has a gorgeous mall and all the best shopping, well for me anyway. There are also houses and apartments on one end of the street plus it is on the bus route as I recall. I really enjoyed going down this street to do some shopping for little nick knacks and of course the mall.

"downtown mall shopping center"
Fulton Street, is where The Fulton mall, which has a lot of beauty and jewelry stores run by the Africa Americans, locates, between the Flatbush Avenue and Adams Street. Also, Fulton Street is where the only one Macy's Store in Brooklyn sits. It is a pretty good choice for a shopping people. There are a lot of fast foods on this street, like Wendy's, Burger Kings, Dumkin's Donuts where you can simply drop by and have a coffee and some snakes. I have to mention Fulton Street is also where SSA locates on.

"Shopping Shopping and more Shopping"
This is definitely the street if you are looking to shop in downtown Brooklyn. Restaurants and shops of all types line this very very busy street in Brooklyn. But like all areas that are known for shopping and lifestyles its pretty congested so navigating in a car could be a bit of a challenge however on foot on a summer day is definitely a wonderful experience.

"The Sneaker Heaven"
Fulton Street, specifically Fulton Mall (btwn Flatbush Avenue and Adams Street) in the Downtown area of Brooklyn can be proclaimed an unofficial sneaker "heaven". There is more than 20 stores on this strip that sells sneakers.
When I was a young lad, lol, my mother used to take me and my brother school shopping for sneakers and clothes to start the year off looking "fresh"(dressing nice). Here I can stay on top of what the latest sneakers were, which were Jordans and Nikes. Now that I am a little older, I don't shop for sneakers as much in this area because of the lack of exclusiveness. Many of the stores will have the same sneakers, which will mean you will see at least 5 people walking down Fulton Street with your sneakers on.
As you walk, you will see FootLocker, Foot Action, Modell's, etc. and many "mom and pop shops" that sell sneakers. One can also buy clothing to go with their new "kicks". If you like urban fashion: flashy jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, and the like, stores such as Dr. Jay's, S&D's and Hyperactive will fit your tastes.
The area is a popular for parents who have children because of the type of clothing, and also with tweens and teenagers. But don't fret, if you don't want to dress looking like your teenage daughter, there is also a Macy's department store on Fulton Mall that has been there since I could remember.
Fulton Mall has gone through many changes over the past 10-15 years, and many of the stores do not last more than 3-5 years. The former Albee Square Mall, shut down this past year and is now being renovated into condominiums. There was also a Friday's restaurant, which didn't last either and closed down just last year.
Overall, if you are not in high school or have a child, do not expect to be excited about shopping in this area. Just as some things are for the adults, this one is for the kids.

Fulton St
"Never a dull moment."
Fulton street (NY) is an all together true city experience. With souvenir salesmen on every corner, and "mom and pop" stores and food shops everywhere you look, there's never a dull moment. Fulton street has a historic feel to it as well. If you're interested in checking out some historic buildings, pass buy #2-4 Fulton, which used to be home to old-time popular restauraunts Sloppy Louie's fish joint and Sweet's Restauraunt.
