tlantic Avenue came into prominence in the 1800's with stylish apparel for ladies and gents. By the 1930s, an influx of Middle Eastern immigrants opened restaurants and specialty food shops, many of which are still run by descendants of the original merchants.

In the 1970s, choice antique shops began to cluster, establishing the Avenue as a hot spot for connoisseurs. The 1990s ushered in an era of fine contemporary designers who transformed Atlantic Avenue into the "new destination for modern furniture, lighting and rugs as well as antiques" (The New York Times). As we enter the 21st Century, boutiques showing eclectic contemporary clothing and accessories are settling in.

A stroll along Atlantic Avenue promises a feast of international delicacies. Enjoy a family-run coffee and tea bar or a tavern with great food, plus a sampling of worldwide cuisines: Mexican, Caribbean, French, contemporary American, Spanish, Japanese, West Indian and of course, Middle Eastern!
