Sunset Park is best explored via the stomach and foot. From the park on the hill to the rugged waterfront, this neighborhood features some of the best views in Brooklyn, and waves of Latino Asian residents have transformed the area into one of the tastiest trips in the borough, rich with tacos, tamales and tortas.
For a savory breakfast option, grab a tamale from the lady who sells them on 45th St. and 4th Ave. For something sweet, Mi Mejico Pequeno II (4513 5th Ave.) has sugary pan dulce, crispy cookies and soft rolls that between emerge from the ovens hourly, and café con leche to wash them down with.
Breakfast in hand, find a bench in Sunset Park (44th St. and 5th Ave.) and take in the incredible view of the Statue of Liberty and the Upper New York Bay.
