Montague St Between Henry St and Hicks St

   

Billed as Brooklyn Heights' Main Street by its Business Improvement website, Montague Street does not disappoint in that respect. Feeling like a small town, there aren't any hints of Manhattan, Subways or Busses as you walk down this humble block.

Being right in the middle of one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the borough, it's not at all surprising to find storefront after storefront filled with pricey businesses. The corner of Henry St is anchored by the upscale real estate firm Corcoran while Häagen-Dazs isn't far behind. An organic grocery was in the middle of the block, with a Lifewater vending machine out front…none of that Poland Spring trash for this neighborhood.
