Heading under the river we head to Brooklyn Heights an affluent residential neighborhood within the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
Originally referred to as Brooklyn Village, it has been a prominent area of Brooklyn since 1834.
The neighborhood is noted for its low-rise architecture and its many brownstone rowhouses, most of them built prior to the Civil War
Brooklyn Heights was the first neighborhood to be protected by the 1965 Landmarks Preservation Law of New York City.
The areas is full of lovely architecture, the mainly typical brownstones that feature in nearly every New York film or TV show.
A typical brownstone rowhouse is three or four stories tall, with the main floor above the street level and is reached by stairs, referred to as a “stoop”, a word derived from Dutch.
