You can walk just a few blocks (or hop on one of the dozens of buses darting up and down the street) and find something truely different and wonderful.

And in this review of Fulton Street's

There are certain businesses that every neighborhood has to have and among the most important is a grocery store. Like proximity to the subway, a good grocery store is something we New Yorkers look for when choosing where to live. It has to be clean, have the foods we want and be convenient.

The odds are good you’ve passed by Kush Café at 17 Putnam Avenue and never noticed it.

Books have been born all over Brooklyn’s Fort Greene. Richard Wright labored over “Native Son” here while sitting on a hill in Fort Greene Park; a bench there now bears his name. He lived nearby, as did Marianne Moore, and several contemporary writers have roots in the neighborhood, including Colson Whitehead, Jhumpa Lahiri and Nelson George.
