Carroll Gardens is an area of Brooklyn bordered to the north by Boerum/Cobble Hill and to the west by Red Hook. The area is known as being a long-standing, working-class Italian area but it is being invaded fast by upper middle class brownstone owners and the young people who are renting the buildings from them. There is also a large Latino people in the south end of the neighborhood.
Carroll Gardens is a gorgeous suburb but at a lower price than its neighboring areas. Rents here are more affordable than you would find in other areas in this part of Brooklyn but it still has many of the same amenities although it is a bit isolated by the lack of group converyance options. Only the F and G trains stop here at Smith street and 9th Street.

What Carroll Gardens lacks in a large supermarket, it makes up in many smaller, local shopping and eating choices. On Smith Street, Zaytoons has cheap Byob Middle Eastern fare and Cafe Cubana makes a mean mojito and serves up exquisite Cuban food. Carroll Gardens is home to a sizeable French people and Smith street is also home to three French restaurants. Lucali on the angle of Henry and Carroll Streets is known to make one of the best pizzas in New York. South Brooklyn Pizza is other good place but is probably more well known for the recently launched gay bar/dance party on Monday nights. There are also plenty of small shops to suit most of your needs together with Mazzola's Bakery on Union street and G. Esposito and Sons, a meat store celebrated for their fresh cuts.
During the summer months the Gowanus Yacht Club has outdoor picnic tables and serves pictures of beer and hotdogs. Pj Hanley's on Court street and 4th Place is other good place to enjoy a beer outdoors and they have live music on Wednesday nights in the summer. If you would rather avoid the bars then Carroll Park is an area of playgrounds and sitting areas. Hope Park is a 30-minute walk away if you would prefer a larger outdoor area to kick a ball colse to or suntan.
Overall Carroll Gardens makes a great selection for new arrivals to New York City. It is a safe area with lots of amenities and it isn't too far from lower Manhattan. It has a nice atmosphere and would make any newcomer feel welcome to what can otherwise be a very intimidating city.
