i had to run an errand out here for work so...here we go!


BAM - off to sheepshead!


avenue u


formerly an old italian neighborhood, now mostly russian jewish, asian too




destination #1 - jay & lloyd’s old school deli


pastrami on rye & a side of zucchini pancakes = to die for!

a classic old school chinese restaurant bites the dust…
hmm, what you could do with a bar in that atmospheric old front…
if only this was a hipster neighborhood…
unnh, wait, what did I just say?!




open to the street to draw you in (it works!)

…waits on the ocean ave bus to midwood


midwood housing between the anonymous apt buildings










destination #2 is avenue j -- if you are a big pizza fanatic you know this place or heard of it

Excellent pics of two relatively little-known neighborhoods.

You also captured some of the less known corridors. Sheepshead Bay is best known for its "downtown" area around the Sheepshead Bay subway stop, and the waterfront strip along Emmons Avenue (along the namesake bay).

And Midwood is better known for the very prosperous Syrian Jewish population around Kings Highway.

And yes, both areas were formerly Italian, and are now heavily Orthodox Jewish, along with Russian Jews and (in Sheepshead Bay) some Chinese.

I was just there two weeks ago. It is a surprisingly active neighborhood.
