Fort Greene is named after a fortification built and used by the Continental Army during the Revolution, but now, it’s a neighborhood noted for its great diversity. Its park is the centerpiece of the community, functioning as a common space with a good amount of programing for the whole family. While the restaurants, bars, venues and other attractions along its streets are enough to satiate anyone, additional entertainment can be found a quick trip away in the Barclays Center, just across Atlantic Avenue.
