West 1st St, Gravesend

West 1st Street is a classic street in Brooklyn with a lot to offer. You can find a range of businesses and services, ranging from a small hospital to a school to even a few local restaurants on the nearby Avenue. One thing I do encourage in Brooklyn is a trip to one of the many restaurants, not on this street, but all throughout the neighborhood for some real Brooklyn are. I liked this street and thought that it was well connected. Public transportation is an option in this lively neighborhood, though having a car is a plus. All in all, a nice street in Brooklyn.

Transit: In this neighborhood, the F train runs along McDonald Avenue, with stops convenieintly located at McDonald Avenue and Kings Highway and the N train at West 7th Avenue and Kings Highway, as well as at Avenue U and West 8th Avenue, not to mention the F train again at McDonald Avenue and Avenue U, keeping this neighborhood very easily accessible.
