Berkeley Pl Between 8th Ave and 6th Ave

   

Branching off the outer ring of Grand Army Plaza, Berkeley Pl is a quintessential Brooklyn street. With more Brownstones than you know what to do with, the block is gorgeous, if not a little one-note. Crossing 7th Avenue, you catch a glimpse of a few stores lining the outskirts of Park Slope.

The sidewalks here are are very narrow, thanks in-part to the countless trees and stoops. God help you if you find yourself walking towards a few parents with strollers. The logistics of getting out of the way may cause you to wonder if it was worth your time and energy to walk down this street at all.
