Interestingly in Howard Beach, it's the South Asians who I used to see frequent the Starbucks more than the Italians.

I always liked the variety of dining in HB. Some restaurants have closed but there's a decent amount of places along Crossbay. Danny's had closed then re-opened a few years ago. I haven't noticed if it's still open or if it was affected by Sandy.
I think sometime after 2007. I went to 202 between 2001-2003, when it was still just a middle school [or Junior High back then].

That happened in Gravesend, a neighborhood that borders Bensonhurst in Brooklyn.

Really trying to turn this discussion into something else, huh? There was the kid with the bat a few years back. I'm sure there is a lot more to the neighborhood than just those two unfortunate hours in its history.

Exactly G-Dale

That was then so let's leave it there. I go to Lenny's Clam Bar quite often and EVERYONE of EVERY race goes there. The OP is asking about the neighborhood TODAY. HB is a very friendly neighborhood and let me say, after Sandy, I've never seen a community come together like that.

my biggest gripe is that it is such a pita to get to-- sort of isolated, but some people def like that. I don't know about th eschools, but I would bet that many families use the Catholic schools.
