Carroll Gardens

Carroll Gardens is Brooklyn's Italian-American soul — bocce courts in the community gardens, old-school red-sauce joints alongside farm-to-table newcomers, and wide, tree-lined blocks with deep front stoops that invite lingering. Smith and Court Streets have some of Brooklyn's best dining.
