Brighton
Beach is a community on the
peninsula of Coney Island in Brooklyn. It is mainy a Russian
neighborhood, many people are immigrants from the former
Soviet Union in the 70s and 80s. They sometimes call their
neighborhood Little Odessa.
Along Brighton Beach
Avenue, where the Q-Train goes elevated, is the commercial
center of the Russian community and here you can find
everything: Russian grocery strores, restaurants, CDs and
videos, clothes etc. So if you've never been to Russia and
want to get a taste of it, it's definitely the place to go.
