The neighborhood

Bensonhurst

Bensonhurst's 18th Avenue and 86th Street corridors are a collision of old-school Italian-American bakeries and bustling Chinese markets — a culinary double feature that few NYC neighborhoods can match. The area is residential, safe, and deeply affordable by Brooklyn standards.
