Fiske Terrace - Midwood Park



Posted by Picasa

Yesterday morning, I came out of the subway at Newkirk Ave to construction and noise. Out onto Foster Ave I walked, and hung a right on East 18th into another world. Fiske Terrace - Midwood Park is one of New York City's newest Historic Districts, and kudos to LPC for designating this beautiful neighborhood. Large turn of the century homes sit shoulder-to-shoulder along lush tree-lined streets, whose greenery is augmented with planted medians. Also, this being spring, it was fully abloom. I think the neighborhood must have gotten a deal on pink azaleas at some point, as nearly everyone has one. This is a real gem.
