Park Slope, Brooklyn

As there are lots of people of different nationalities living in NY, there are many red and blue and green... buildings which together create a unique colouring of this city.

Some of them have unbelieavbly beautiful vines on the facades.

Park Slope, Brooklyn

Me and Katya are buying some fruits on the streets of one of the richest areas of Brooklyn, Park Slope.

There are so many places like this in New York, it's unbelievable! You can buy whatever you want right on the street, not even in the store. I love it!


By the way, Park Slope is a very nice place. It is like Frantsuzsky boulevard in Odessa. But Frantsuzsky is still better :-)))

We found a PEACH TREE in Brooklyn!

We found a peach tree in someones garden!!! Katya says it's Russians... Why? Well, I guess Americans just don't grow peach trees in their gardens :-)))


They are waiting for me. Nice guys! :-) Better not lose me, but even if yes, i think i will find my way home at the end of the day or at the end of the night :-)

BAY RIDGE

This name was given due to the proximity of the neighborhood to New York Bay, excellent views of which were visible from the ridge. These views attracted wealthy people, who built extravagant summer homes along Shore Road overlooking the water, many of which are worth well over one million dollars.
Once the Subway was extended in 1915 many Manhattan workers looking for quieter surroundings began to flow in, transforming the area into a middle-class neighborhood.

Bay Ridge is a diverse neighborhood with a predominantly Catholic heritage, with strong Muslim and Eastern Orthodox minority populations.

There are 20 % of people who identify themselves as being of Italian descent, another 20% - of Irish descent. There is also a large and active Greek American population. In addition, Bay Ridge is home to one of the oldest Arab-American populations in New York. Several generations ago, the neighborhood was well known for its Scandinavian residents, and the neighborhood still contains several Scandinavian bakeries and hosts an annual Norwegian Day Parade.

Since 1990, Bay Ridge has become a popular location for immigrants from the former Soviet Union.

We are now in BAY RIDGE - a neighborhood in the southwest corner of the New York city borough of Brooklyn. It was a part of the colonial Dutch town.
And now a lot of different people live here.
We found several Russian places. How did we know? Because only Russians have fruit trees and birches ("береза").
