Why is Sunset Park known for the best ethnic food in Brooklyn?

Sunset Park's diverse population - Hispanic, Indian, Chinese, Caribbean, Irish, Norwegian, and others - has produced a restaurant scene where long-standing family-owned places serve traditional cuisine without compromise. If you're a taco purist or pho devotee, the family-owned places here outrank trendy Manhattan or Williamsburg restaurants on authenticity. The food culture is one of the strongest reasons to live in Sunset Park. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696 for current Sunset Park inventory.

What kind of housing is available in Sunset Park?
