The Columbia Street Waterfront District, a neighborhood in south Brooklyn, New York, blends old and new styles by converting old industrial buildings, such as the Louis Comfort Tiffany factory on Tiffany Place, to residences, shops, and eateries. Walk, drive, or ride the bike path along tree-lined Columbia Street, a neighborhood gathering place. See condos and townhouses for rent that reflect district revitalization activities which started in 1984. Residents of the cozy neighborhood also meet at the public community gardens. Travel to midtown Manhattan, about 12 miles away, by subway, bus, taxi, or personal vehicle.

Locals flock to Alma, a Mexican-American continental restaurant, for socializing, authentic tacos, and spectacular city views from its heated rooftop deck. Award-winning hotspot Pok Pok attracts neighborhood residents with its northern Thai menu. Music lovers choose Jalopy Tavern for live blues, folk, and roots sounds. While there, enjoy their popular Jalopy burger, beignets, or soul-satisfying fried chicken and biscuits. And don't forget Ferdinando’s Focacceria Restaurant, a 100-year-old favorite, which features traditional Sicilian dishes.
