NEIGHBORHOOD

A neighbor to Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, and a home to myriad artists, makers and shapers, Gowanus is probably the only neighborhood where you can go shuffleboarding, art studio touring, craft beer tasting, silent disco dancing, pottery making, pizzeria hopping, and archery aiming—all within minutes of each other. The cafés, restaurants, and mom-and-pop shops complete the vibe of this hub of originality. With an almost 400-year history that touches pretty much every community that’s ever resided in New York, it’s where Brooklynites of all stripes can come together to create something cooler than we ever could alone.
