Timeout New York rated South Portland Ave btwn DeKalb and Lafayette the best block in NYC!: South Portland Avenue between DeKalb and Lafayette Avenues, Fort Greene, Brooklyn The king of all New York blocks seems straight out of Sesame Street, not only for the unbroken rows of brownstones and brick townhouses, but also because it's still home to the diverse crowd for which Fort Greene has become known: The old guard of the black middle class shares the street with transplants from far and near; kids and senior citizens roost on stoops. Slate sidewalks and a canopy of London Plane trees, plus proximity to the C and G trains and the nearby cluster of great bars and restaurants, make this block a standout. And that's not mentioning Fort Greene Park, which begins right where South Portland meets DeKalb. "It's just beautiful," says four-year resident A.R. Swan, "and it's a relief from the hubbub of Fulton Street." Bonus: +2 points for a great neighborhood vibe that springs from the commingling of cultures; there's plenty to do and it's nearly free of tourists (except forgivable visitors to BAM).
