Cortelyou at Twilight welcomes you to the neighborhood
For those who live in Victorian Flatbush, Cortelyou Road has long served as the neighborhood’s Main Street.
It is, however, a thoroughfare in transition, as the gentrification of the community has resulted in the gradual opening of a bevy of new businesses, many of which participated in a premiere event that was meant to showcase everything the strip has to offer.
Cortelyou at Twilight, which debuted along the strip east of Coney Island Avenue on Thursday, October 10, and sponsored by the Flatbush Development Corporation, Brooklyn Hearth Realty and the city’s Department of Small Business Services, offered event-goers an opportunity to sample the offerings of many of the street’s restaurants, with ticket revenues going to the Garden to Café programs at P.S. 139, on Cortelyou, and P.S. 217, on nearby Newkirk Avenue.
