By Subway:

Take the 2/3 to the Bergen stop. That lets you out right next to the unofficial headquarters for the area: New York Naturals at 253 Flatbush Avenue. Stop in there to ask for directions or to say hello, and then stop next door for the wonderful Petit Fleur (House & Garden NYC Best New Florist) and Castor & Pollux (high fashion boutique featured in Time Out New York). Directly across the street are two of Brookyn's best restaurants: Bistro Saint Marks and Sugarcane.

Or:

Take the 4 to Atlantic and walk two blocks up Flatbush to Bergen, or take the 4 and transfer at Nevins for the 2/3 to Bergen.

Or:

Take the Q train to 7th Ave. Right across the street from the subway stop is redberi, and on the same block are Nouveau Decor, Hooti Couture, and Khali Marcello Gifts. Walk down Flatbush Ave for more interesting sites and shops.

By Car:

Take the Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridges to Flatbush Ave and drive straight up Flatbush to 5th or 6th Avenue. Depending on the day and time, it may be easy to find street parking. If you prefer garage parking, turn left on Pacific Ave before you get to 5th Ave. Three blocks down on the right you'll find a large parking garage. The garage is 2 short blocks away from Flatbush Avenue.
