Shopping & Restaurants

Bensonhurst is a gourmet's paradise, with hundreds of restaurants representing dozens of world cuisines. The recent influx of Asian- and Russian-Americans who have chosen to call “The Gateway to Coney Island” their new home, has contributed an even greater variety of eateries and cultural establishments. The Bensonhurst community represents the best of Brooklyn values - incredible diversity, fierce pride, creativity and passion. Every year, thousands flock to the feast in honor of St. Rosalia, one of the patron saints of Sicily, and the “Ragamuffin Parade”, a unique freestyle event that showcases the talents of over 3,000 Brooklyn kids. You haven’t seen a parade until you’ve seen a Bensonhurst parade - and the Superbowl & World Cup block parties? Fuhgeddaboutit!

For those who like to enjoy life’s quieter moments, Bensonhurst’s Seth Low Park and the 17.5-acre Bensonhurst Park (with sports equipment and a safety-enhanced playground) offer plenty of space and attractions for adults and kids alike. On the western side, the gigantic 216-acre Dyker Beach Park and the Dyker Heights Golf Course provide even more green space. There are also several playgrounds and “triangle parks” sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.

Commuters will appreciate convenient access to Shore Parkway, Bay Parkway, Bay Ridge Parkway, and several other major highways.
