Brooklyn streets, 1-101

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This article only covers the non-directionally labeled numbered east-west streets in the New York City borough of Brooklyn between and including 1st Street and 101st Street. Major streets have their own linked articles; minor streets are discussed here.

While very similar to Manhattan's grid, this section of Brooklyn's street grid does not have strict rules of traffic direction based on whether a street number is odd or even. This street grid starts in Park Slope after Garfield Place beginning with 1st Street and ending with 101st Street just north of Shore Road and the Belt Parkway in Bay Ridge. As in Manhattan, the Streets are crossed by Avenues, running north-south and numbered from First Avenue along the Sunset Park waterfront.
