TODAY, JUNE 25th STARTING AT 11 AT 681 - 685 Nostrand Ave
Nostrand Park is excited to announce the soft launch of its new pilot program, Destination Nostrand, intended to beautify, promote, enliven, and enhance Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. We're taking a multi-pronged approach to showcasing the best of what is + the best of what can be on Nostrand Ave.
Enhance & Beautify
We've staged 3 vacant spaces on Nostrand Ave as fun "model" commercial units. Come check them out. What business would you open on Nostrand?
Promote
Take a guided tour with us to learn about the history of Nostrand Ave. We'll point out some of the oldest businesses, the newest additions, and the all-around most popular destinations. Also, we'll share with you fact-based statistics and data that underscore the tremendous retail opportunity (to the tune of $743 million) that awaits the savvy business owner looking to open on Nostrand.
