Marked by brownstones and Victorian mansions, Crown Heights is an evolving area where Caribbean and kosher eateries share streets with trendy cafes and DJ-fueled bars. Tree-lined Eastern Parkway, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, hosts the annual West Indian Day Parade, while Weeksville Heritage Center preserves homes from a 19th-century free black community. Kids have hands-on fun at Brooklyn Children’s Museum.
