Middagh St. is only a short distance from the Fulton Ferry district under the Brooklyn Bridge, where there are restaurants, the famous Music Barge, and a state park along the river. It is the home of noted writers, artists and architects, including Norman Mailer and the late Norman Rosten, Brooklyn's poet laureate.
Atlantic Ave. at the south end of the Heights is a noted near eastern shopping area. Atlantic Ave, also has numerous ethnic boutiques and antique shops. It starts at the river and runs across all of Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Heights is also within walking distance (or a short bus ride) of the downtown Brooklyn shopping area, Brooklyn Borough Hall, state courts, main post office, and new educational institutions. The whole area from downtown Brooklyn to the Atlantic Ave. LIRR terminal area is being rapidly redeveloped. Transportation is excellent: all three subway lines (IRT, IND, BMT) run into Brooklyn Heights, which is only one stop from Manhattan.
