Check Out Brooklyn’s "Lief Ericson Corridor"

August 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Forgotten New York weighs in this week with a huge new feature on Brooklyn’s Lief Ericson Corridor:

Bay Ridge’s Lief Ericson Park can also be called a corridor park, running between Ridge Boulevard and Fort Hamilton Parkway in fits and starts, mostly between 66th and 67th Streets. What’s notable is that the park is used for a different function on each block.

Your webmaster returned to Bay Ridge in August 2007 and walked the Lief Ericson corridor along its entire length, which I had never done while living in the neighborhood between 1957 and 1993, my first 35 years.

The feature has lots of great info and photos of Bay Ridge. Check it out.
