ZIP 11205 covers Clinton Hill and Fort Greene, two adjacent neighborhoods west of Bed-Stuy known for their tree-lined streets, brownstone architecture, and proximity to Downtown Brooklyn. Clinton Hill runs from Classon Avenue west to Vanderbilt Avenue, while Fort Greene continues west to Flatbush Avenue Extension. Both neighborhoods have a strong cultural identity anchored by institutions like the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Pratt Institute, and Fort Greene Park.
Myrtle Avenue and DeKalb Avenue are the main commercial corridors, offering restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. The G train stops at Clinton-Washington and Classon avenues, and the C train at Lafayette Avenue provides direct access to Nostrand Ave and our store. Fort Greene Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, is the neighborhood's green centerpiece. Our Bed-Stuy location on Nostrand Ave is about a ten-minute walk east from Classon Avenue, making it the closest licensed option for anyone in 11205.
