What communities make up Sunset Park?

Sunset Park is one of Brooklyn's most diverse neighborhoods, anchored by two large immigrant communities. Along Eighth Avenue is one of the city's major Chinatowns, often called Brooklyn's Chinatown, with extensive Chinese markets, restaurants, and businesses. Along Fifth Avenue is a thriving Latino community, historically Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Dominican, with its own vibrant commercial life. This blend of cultures gives Sunset Park an energetic, authentic character and some of the best and most affordable dining in the borough, and it is central to the neighborhood's identity and appeal.
