Explore Restaurants Open In Crown Heights, Prospect Heights: Map

PROSPECT HEIGHTS/CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN —More than 200 restaurants in the Prospect Heights and Crown Heights area welcomed customers back for outdoor dining this week as the city moved to its second phase of reopening from the coronavirus crisis, a new map shows.

A new Department of Transportation map lets New Yorkers explore which restaurants in their neighborhood have opened up as part of the city's Open Restaurants program, which lets eateries set up tables on sidewalks or parking lanes as they reopen for al fresco dining.

More than 5,600 restaurants have signed up so far citywide.

The zip codes that make up Prospect and Crown Heights — 11233, 11238, 11225, 11216, 11217 and 11213 — have a total of 261 restaurants open for business, a number that will only grow as more applications come in.

Most eateries in the neighborhood chose large set ups that span both the sidewalk and curbside lanes, the map shows.

Only 18 have set up tables just in the parking lane and 106 are using just the sidewalk, while the rest are using both, according to the map. Nearly all, 192, include alcohol service.

This week, some restaurants will get the chance to venture further into the streets.

Applications open Monday for business improvement districts and merchant associations to set up seating on roadways that have been closed to traffic under the city's Open Streets program.

In Prospect Heights and Crown Heights, stretches of Carlton Avenue, Lincoln Place, Park Place, Prospect Place, Schnectady Avenue and Underhill Avenue are in that category.

The city is expected to let restaurants start indoor dining, at limited capacity, when it enters Phase Three, likely July 6.
