ZIP 11238 covers Prospect Heights and the northern reaches of Park Slope, two neighborhoods defined by their proximity to some of Brooklyn's most important cultural institutions. The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Prospect Park, and the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library all sit within or adjacent to this ZIP. Eastern Parkway runs through the center, connecting Grand Army Plaza to the cultural campus along Washington Avenue.
Vanderbilt Avenue is the main commercial street in Prospect Heights, lined with restaurants, wine bars, and independent shops. The Barclays Center sits at the northwestern corner of the ZIP, bringing concerts, basketball, and events to the area. The 2/3 trains stop at Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum and Grand Army Plaza, and the B/Q runs along Flatbush Ave. Our store on Nostrand Ave in Bed-Stuy is about a twelve-minute walk north from the top of Prospect Heights, or a quick delivery to your door.
