We have Richard Butts to thank; in 1840 he worked in Urban Planning as a surveyor for the front green gardens of this sweet town. This old world neighborhood has many well-established merchants (Caputo's Fine Foods, Espositos Pork Store, Court Pastry Shop) and many restaurants, to name a few; Lucali's Pizza (#1 in NYC), Buttermilk Channel, Ugly Baby & Court Street Grocers. Many private and public schools are in a four block radius, Hannah Senesh Community Day School, PS 58 (always check with NYC Board of Education for updates), International School of Brooklyn, The Brooklyn New School, to name a few. A three block walk to the F & G train at the Carroll Street Station. Citibike on the corner, dog run just down the block.
