Crown Heights is a historic neighborhood in Brooklyn with streets and schools that are often misunderstood and underestimated. While some areas can be violent, Crown Heights has much more to offer, including prestigious avenues like St. Marks Avenue from the late 1800s, high performing schools, several firehouses that protect the community, the first children's museum with child-sized exhibits, annual parades on Eastern Parkway, and educational institutions like Medgar Evers College honoring civil rights leaders. The neighborhood is centered around Eastern Parkway and aims to teach children about Jewish culture through museums.
