This street is located in a very industrial part of Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I've been out here on business and found it to be a little desolate. Some streets are cobble stone and have rails in the ground - no trains have run on these rails for decades. It is also a historical street in Brooklyn - being that majority of industrials were priced out of Brooklyn and moved to New Jersey and else where. The remaining factories do not seem to be making much, but storage is the primary business at this point. There is a huge Costoco store here on this street with a big parking lot. Across the street from Costco is a strip joint - the only one left in the area.

The street is filled with various businesses, from tailor shops to purim headquarters. Though it runs from Bay Parkway to east new york; I would avoid it between Coney Island Avenue and Ocean Avenue any time between 2 and 8 pm, except on Saturday - the religious Jewish people celebrate Shabbos and thus do not drive. Other times - walking is the choice for this busy street. It is two way and is standard in width.

I highly recommend this street to any driver wishing to beat the annoying Saturday afternoon traffic of Brighton Beach avenue. The street is a bit tight and parking is only allowed on one side, but it is a two way street never the less. This street is quite short; spans between Ocean Parkway and Coney Island avenue; but you can see how it can be used to your advantage; get across from coney island to ocean parkway in short time.

I love the fact that the Coney Island boardwalk is considered a street - it is the best. There is the Coney Island astroland park with ice cream, hot dogs and rides and the Brighton Beach part with fine restaurants and weird looking people. Do not forget the beach! Summer comes around - I will be there everyday! Bike riding is a fun activity on this street - though sometimes hooligans rip out boards - so I would watch for missing floor!

This little street is amazing; Sheephead Bay movie theater is here, Cold Stone and TGI Fridays as well. Best street to come to eat, have some ice cream and go see a movie. The marina with boats is also beautiful to look at. There is a multi-story parking garage that is extremely good for Friday and Saturday nights - when things get really busy. The street gets a lot of traffic on the weekends, but it can accommodate almost everyone - it is wide and spacious.

Knapp is a useful street that runs between Gerritsen Avenue and Emmons Avenue. I use it to quickly get from Marine Park/Flatbush Avenue to Emmons/Sheeshead Bay. The big Sheepshead Bay movie theater, Cold Stone, 7/11, Dunking Donuts, Subway as well as various gas stations can all be found on this street along its span. There is one unpleasant thing about this street; it also has a sewage treatment facility on it. The stink that fans into your car's ventilation system is quite funky and distinct - like farts. You might want to stay away from this street on a first date.

My friends live on this little one way street. It is very quiet and peaceful. An abundance of squirrels is a big bonus. There are also some possums living in the neighborhood; I would definitely watch out for them - they tend to go into garbage and look disgusting. They are night creatures - and are invisible during the day. There are occasional parties on this street, but overall it is quiet.

Newkirk avenue runs between Ocean Parkway and Brooklyn Avenue - a huge span. You can travel from Parkville to Flatbush on this street - though only in one direction. That is a downside of this street, even though I really enjoy driving on it - it is only one way. There are some annoying stop signs on this street - especially between E12th and 14th Streets - people tend to walk right into the car. Be careful in that area.

One way street is relatively safe; a police precinct is located right on it - between Ocean Parkway and McDonald's Avenue. The police staff leaves their cars all over the sidewalk and the downside is that it is hard to walk on the sidewalks. The school buses for the UCP center on the same block make things even more chaotic. Besides the previously mentioned and a small corner store - the area is mostly residential and quiet.

I am made to look for parking on this street all the time. It is a one way street that is too narrow for a one way. I had my turning light broken twice by parking cars - being that the street is so narrow - someone is bound to hit your parked car. After it snows - the city does not put salt on this small street and it becomes an ice rink. This street is best to avoid.

Right off from Hylan Boulevard, Cornelia Avenue is the only street that will lead you to the parking lot of the Wolfs Creek Pond park. The road is not so great and at times to narrow for passing cars. It is a dead-end street - so do not expect much traffic. Beware that although the street stays open 24/7, the park closes at dusk and if you do not leave at dusk through Cornelia Avenue you will receive a ticket and have your car locked in overnight. Something I wish I could have avoided. Cornelia avenue also runs the other way from Hylan Boulevard - to a dead end as well.

I like to drive on this street because it is wide and has occasional traffic. There are no stop signs and only one traffic light, but otherwise the driver is free to proceed without stopping. I also like many houses on this street and it is nice to walk on because it later on leads you to the Cedar Grove Beach, though recently it became a private beach, unfortunately. I find this street much quieter than New Dorp Lane.

This street is the best alternative when traveling from Father Capodanno Boulevard to Hylan Boulevard. It is one way, but wide street with no as many cars passing through it. On an average day, I find that I save 5 minutes on daily commute just by taking this street. Be warned; if you are in the habit of running stop signs, there is one on the way, do no take this street. Heightened police activity awaiting for violators will get you a stop sign ticket. So be careful, I always am.

This street has fairly nice pavement, though has big puddles in prolonged rains. Almost every GPS device will point to this street, by default, to navigate you from Hyland Boulevard to Father Capodanno Boulevard and vise-versa. The gripe I have with this street is that: it contains the most traffic! I find that this street has a lot of police activity, awaiting to give people tickets. If you are coming from Father Capodanno Boulevard, I recommend taking the Lincoln Avenue - the next street over to avoid the rush-hour traffic. I always take it instead.

This street is the first street you can take when traveling on Hylan Boulevard in order to access Father Capodanno Boulevard. And we all need to choose either of the Boulevards when taking the Verazanno bridge. The choice between either means being 10 minutes late to work. I take Father Capodanno Boulevard a lot of time times and Greeley Avenue contains the least amount of traffic and connects directly with Father Capodanno Boulevard.

This street cannot be avoided when traveling from Father Capodanno Boulevard, though sometimes I wish I could avoid it. En fact, Father Capodanno turns into Lily Pond Avenue when returning from the beach boardwalk on South Beach in Staten Island. After underpass at Staten Island Expressway it becomes School Road. This street is a gem when it comes to getting onto the Verazanno-Narrows bridge, but only at certain times of day. During rush hours, the street gets very busy and sometimes dangerous in bad weather.

On many occasions I found this street a good opportunity to switch from Bay Street to Van Duzen or Targee Steets, which both lead to Staten Island Expressway. The street has good driving conditions in all types of weather and contains little to no traffic. The houses on this street are very pretty to look at when driving by.

Though it is not a large street; I find this street particularly uninviting because it is one way, narrow and has a patchy road. After school hours and on weekends it is not unusual to find kids riding bicycles and playing sports right in the middle of the street. One must be always on the lookout when having to drive through this street.

Having driven here many, many times I find this street a bit cramped. When a vehicle is approaching you from the opposite direction you are forced to slow your car down and make room. The street is so narrow that, generally, cars usually drive in the middle of the road. This street features a newly built park with benches that one can sit on, but only until dusk otherwise you will receive a summons if caught after dark.

New Dorp Lane starts at Richmond Road and ends at Cedar Grove Avenue. While traveling on this street you will cross Hylan Boulevard, one of the major streets on Staten Island. You will also drive by Starbucks and Applebees restaurant. New Dorp High School is located right after Hylan Boulevard and is connected to Miller Field. The traffic on this street is minimal most of the times. I recommend avoiding this street between 8 and 8:30 am and 4 and 4:30 PM because the traffic can become quite a nuisance.
