Sunset Park

Picturesque views and captivating greenspaces make the Sunset Park neighborhood in Brooklyn simply unforgettable. Although a largely agricultural space until the mid-1800s, Sunset Park quickly grew into the bustling section of South Brooklyn that it is today. Now, Sunset Park offers a charming neighborhood atmosphere and an inescapable energy that is unique to this section of New York City. 
 
One of Sunset Park’s most exciting spaces is undoubtedly Industry City - Housed in converted industrial buildings, this vibrant creative hub is one of Sunset Park’s crown jewels. Along with concerts, art classes, gallery nights, and creative showcases, Industry City is also home to eclectic shopping experiences like Little Shop of Soil and CityFoundry.
 
A commercial stretch of busy 4th Avenue is also home to an array of this neighborhood’s best locally owned eateries. Hotspots like Zona Sur Bar Bistro offer delicious American classics, while iconic coffee shops like Parlay serve up hot drinks in a creative setting. For authentic ethnic flavors, check out places like Kofte Piyaz And Yafa Café. When you’re looking to whip something up yourself, the Sunset Park Greenmarket offers a bountiful variety of fresh local produce. 
 
New York’s storied Green-Wood Cemetery is another iconic Sunset Park landmark. Although it serves as the final resting place for legends like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Louis Comfort Tiffany, there’s far more to this greenspace than headstones and solemnity. Tours and special events make this 478-acre greenspace a serene escape from the surrounding city.
 
But when it comes to greenspaces, nothing beats the neighborhood’s namesake – Sunset Park. Located high on a hill, people often set up picnics on the lawn to enjoy breathtaking sunset views as the sun slips behind the soaring Manhattan skyline.
 
Brooklyn has long been a haven for eclectics, creatives, and anyone else with their eyes squarely on the future. Sunset Park upholds all this exciting energy while also offering quiet residential streets and breathtaking New York moments.
