Types of Buildings<\/h3>\n

The neighborhood is named for DeWitt Clinton, New York City\u2019s sixth mayor, and an actual hill: the central location makes it one of Brooklyn\u2019s highest points. Charles Pratt, who chartered the 25-acre campus by the same name, gets credit for the neighborhood\u2019s ritzy feel, as he was the architect behind several of the mansions on Clinton Avenue (aptly nicknamed \u201cMillionaires\u2019 Row\u201d). Subsequently, the neighborhood has been home to everyone from Walt Whitman to the Notorious B.I.G.<\/p>\n

Fort Greene Park (which sits between the two neighborhoods) is great for running, dog-walking, or a picnic. Myrtle Avenue is home to many restaurants, bars, and boutiques: try SoCo Southern Cuisine, Putnam Grill, literary-themed Emerson Bar, and ByMe Boutique.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
