Sunset Park: A neighborhood rich in culture

Fernando Rodriguez, Copy Editor

NYC is truly the place to live because of its clear devotion to keep neighborhoods diverse and rich in culture. Sunset Park, located in Brooklyn, is just one of many neighborhoods in the city that showcases several cultures of different backgrounds in the form of restaurants, artworks, and the many materials sold to consumers at stores. Although the neighborhood is nowhere near the diversity that Manhattan portrays, the neighborhood provides a good sense of Mexican and Asian culture in the city that never sleeps.
