The Breukelen

I’m a bit fond of bits of New York that evoke the city’s Dutch roots, so I’ve always liked this apartment building, mostly for the name on the awning, which is the original Dutch name for Brooklyn.  This sits on the end of Montague Street, which is the main retail drag in Brooklyn Heights. It is right across from the entrance to the Promenade overlooking New York Harbor.  It hardly looks it, but this was taken last December.
