NYC Walk : Kings Highway, Brooklyn in March 2023

Kings Highway is a major thoroughfare in Brooklyn that runs east-west through the borough. The section of Kings Highway from Homecrest to Bay Parkway is approximately 1.5 miles long, and is home to a diverse array of businesses and residences.
Starting at Homecrest Avenue, Kings Highway is lined with several small businesses, including restaurants, shops, and offices. As I head west, the street becomes more residential, with a mix of attached and detached houses, apartment buildings, and co-ops.

Thanks! I totally enjoyed it.

[@ActionKid]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@Cindilu2065]

Pretty soon you’re going to need a PR person to walk with you while you are recording your lives. You are becoming very famous! You are always so kind and gracious to everyone, you meet!

[@IndianReactionsguy]

I told him if he need it I would do it I’m a native ny 6 ft 270 10 years experience providing security night clubs personal etc

[@ActionKid]

Haha that would be fun

[@ak11472]

Hi, I lived 24 years in New York city, including in this area of Brooklyn...How many times I walked to these places that you show in this video clip. Now I am living in my home city Tbilisi ( Capital city of Georgia, country of the Black Sea region of Europe in the Caucasus) for a year and a half, but having lived in New York for 24 years, this city has become a part of my life, with all its pro and cons...I have my photo/ pictures, albums from different parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and so on., with its diverse architecture, the characters of these different places in the city of New York...

[@FPSTiger]

why did you leave nyc

[@ak11472]

@@FPSTiger Just in case, there were accidental errors in my answer/comment to you, so I sent you my comment again, but now without these previous accidental errors.

[@ak11472]

@@FPSTiger Here is my answer/ reply for your question: Because New York City is a very expensive city to live in, for a most of people (of course, not for the rich, very rich people), for small and medium businesses (due to the very high prices for renting space), all the funds goes towards very expensive housing, well, the rest of the finances for the rest initial things of our life, for taxes in New York City and so on and so forth...

[@hotzie]

In the 70's there would be a small pizzeria on almost every street on Kings Highway. Some of the best pizza I have ever had to this day!

[@DaveyMacnail]

Wow, another enjoyable walking tour. Thanks for making the video. Greetings from Dave in The Netherlands.

So nice to see the different neighborhoods & your knowledge of all of them.

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much for watching

[@MarieA1]

I haven’t seen this part of Brooklyn since the early 2000s. It was great to see, thanks 👍🏽👍🏽

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@soniaramos91]

Wow I used to live here! Most stores still stayed the same. I used to shop here a lot in Kings highway. Kinda miss it in a way.

[@JustWalkingaround2023]

Thank you so much ❤

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

The Kings Highway now that's really going back in time . Yet another historic walk with so much to see . Those crossing are tricky for someone like me to cross , I would have to follow the other pedestrians to get around but they work a treat.

[@ActionKid]

I can’t believe the weird street crossings

[@ellenmindy5905]

Crossing Ocean Parkway into R. 5th and to Mac Donald Ave is primarily Syrian/Sephardic kosher foods and restaurants. Big Sephardic Community right there.

[@calv011]

Giving South Brooklyn the love it deserves! Would be awesome to see you do a walking tour of Avenue U as well, it is also very diverse as you go from west to east you have Italian, Jewish, Eastern European, and Asian areas.

[@ActionKid]

Yes, Avenue U is such a diverse street

[@BookmarkthisLPR]

@@ActionKid Would love to see Ave U ! Please try!

[@anthonyd6370]

ocean parkway goes past brighton beach into coney island and becomes surf ave

[@MTAFan585]

I actually took a long walk with dad last Thursday through Bensonhurst started at 86 St/Bay 11 St up to 24th Ave to Stillwell Ave which was the first ever long walk I ever experienced then passing 78th Street by Kings Highway near the old Del Rio Diner. Fun

[@ActionKid]

So cool, thanks for sharing!

[@femsy5330]

Thank you for showing us around. Its really relaxing to take a look at those hectic surroundings while chilling in my chair with a coffee. I have to say that I would totally get crazy with all the honking cars. Such things dont happen much in my town in Germany. So loud lol

[@c4l977]

That's the first thing I thought of, that I didn't miss all that honking while I lived in Germany.

[@ActionKid]

Glad you enjoyed

[@Milathegoatnyc]

Wanted you to do a 360 turn at Stilwell Ave though 😂😂😂😂❤

I live on E. 14th and P. Still love it here.

[@jarihult]

Informational and enjoyable video 😎Nice looking neighborhood and along your walk nice stores , restaurants etc….🙂Thank you for sharing A K 🙂👍!!!

[@genekrauss]

As should be apparent from the walk in most of the sections shown an available & legal parking space is difficult to find here.

[@zofo2559]

Tashkent supermarket is very great like the one on Brighton Beach

[@HengMiao]

From Bay Parkway to Bay Parkway! 😂 I chuckled when I saw the street sign at the end and had to mention this. 😆 5:04 - 5:52 Confusing street grid and drivers are doing strange turns! 🤯 15:09 Interesting history about this bike path. 31:50 Nice to see the Asian businesses here, especially Bay Parkway Food Inc. 😎 Thank you for sharing this informative walk and all the developments in the area, AK! 🤗

[@ActionKid]

Thank you so much for watching! It’s so cool to see the street change

[@anonymoussource7999]

I remember Crazy Eddie’s on Coney Island Ave. by Kings Hwy from back in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. “His prices were- INSANE!”

[@ActionKid]

Wow Crazy Eddie’s!

[@MarcosDemiato]

The high definition of your videos are unbelievable, how can you reach that quality? Recorded in ProRes? Congratulations man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing!! Stay safe!!!

[@wierdo1234wierdo]

i pass here everyday LOL

[@randinatkowitz2487]

So funny…. I was over there a few months ago with my parents. My mom was saying how she loved Kings Highway when she was younger but it’s changed so much and not even close to the way it used to be.

[@ActionKid]

Wow that’s so cool! Now you get to see it through my video

[@koolandre1269]

I from NY move away Years ago that's why I like these videos how much NY change

[@City-Hiker]

Midwood, Kensington, Madison, Marine Park., Gerristen Beach also have a lot of Jewish though not as many as Borough Park. There are a lot of Kosher restaurants, too. Many Dunkin Donut restaurants are Kosher in those areas too. N train in West 8th Street, F train in McDonald Avenue, Q and B trains in East 15th Street are servicing Kings Highway. There are a few buildings between Bay Parkway and Stillwell Avenue are newly built.

[@freddypflugbeil6]

Thanks for being out there for us Action kid. From Highland falls New York

You should walk through prospect park once it’s more warmer

[@muhammadkuliyev4536]

I’m the one in the TH hoodie

No more Dubrows under the station. My parents had an antique store around the corner on 15th street back in the 1960's .Nothing is the same.

[@cherylspencer3662]

My dearest friend lived on the 1900 block of Ocean Ave. Miss this walk so very much.

You walk right past my block! 13th and Kings. Too bad I missed you!

[@c4l977]

I love seeing the influence in America from all the different cultures that helped settle this country.

[@Charanms]

@actionkid I am not sure if you know anything about what happened to the New paper /Convenience store under the Kings highway (B, Q) line . They used to sell papers from languages like Greek, Arabic, Korean, Chinese etc . MTA seem to have closed it and now card vending machines taken their place in front of the wall. Thanks in advance

[@anthonyd6370]

coney island ave does not go to coney island it goes to brighton beach

I used to live on E. 12th and Avenue P when I first got married. Always loved walking down Kings Highway because there was great shopping!! Don't know about now because we eventually moved to California.

[@ActionKid]

Very cool! It’s amazing you used to live there!

[@ellenmindy5905]

Not so great. There is a new grocery store next to the Big Banana which is nice; but for clothes, shoes, etc....not even close to what it used to be. I miss Jimmy's and Harper's and the original S & T. Oh well

[@bethfromcalib8636]

@@ellenmindy5905 That's a shame...we are planning to come to Brooklyn in the near future. But I would probably check out KH anyway just to see how it's changed. Thanks!

Great video as per usual . What nasty drivers these people are though . I mean when you have the walk sign , it apparently means little .

[@Eseibio__]

Is it always so crowded?

[@ellenmindy5905]

Yes

[@randinatkowitz2487]

My mom wants to know if you will ever go back to Brownsville!!

[@williamlandweer7106]

How do you shop for groceries when parking is hard to get? I see people walk to get their food. What a hassle.

[@_jp_3809]

Mostly everyone in NYC depends on walking or public transportation, and having stores at close proximity makes it easier to go shopping often with just a cart or bags. No need to buy in bulk and drive unless you're going to a Costco or something.

[@zofo2559]

USA is changing, anarchy like what this driver did
