Prospect Heights

One of the sweetest, most tight-knit communities in the 718. Prospect Heights has seen much change in its time, which is visible in the architecture alone - the streets are lined with a mix of beautiful historic rowhouses and new luxury condos. Though small in size, it holds two of the borough’s largest institutions - the BK Museum and the BK Public Library - as well as the Barclays Center, home to the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. Over the past 15 years, we’ve witnessed the resurgence of restaurants, nightlife and shops, putting Prospect Heights on the grid as a beloved Brooklyn destination.

The Vanderbilt is a neighborhood staple that sits near the top of our list. When you first enter, you’re immediately greeted by its rustic ambience and lengthy, marble bar. Throughout the space you’ll find still lifes made up of vases of farm flowers, mason jar candles, glass vessels of berries and citrus wedges, books and potted plants. However, The Vanderbilt is really about it’s chefs. Michelin-starred, executive chef Saul Bolton of Saul restaurant (and more recently, Red Gravy) opened The Vanderbilt over a decade ago with co-owner Ben Daitz. He’s also the creator of Brooklyn Bangers, a line of gourmet sausages and dogs available on the menu and also at Brooklyn Flea, the Barclays Center and Trader Joe’s. For starters, order the Carrot Salami, homemade jerky and definitely do not miss the Snug Harbor Salad - an improvised salad using ingredients provided weekly by Snug Harbor Farm. Then, gorge on the Brooklyn Bangers Sausage Flight including kielbasa, cheddar bratwurst, weisswurst, merguez, chips, chow-chow and pickles.
