LOCATION

South Brooklyn. Brighton Beach is the area around Brighton Beach Avenue located next to the 'B' train terminal station (the 'Q' train will also work if you want to get there faster). It lies just east of better-known Coney Island.

CHARACTER AND FEEL

Brighton Beach Avenue itself lies underneath the elevated subway tracks of the Q train. The surrounding area, nicknamed "Little Odessa", consists mostly of large multi-apartment buildings inhabited almost exclusively by the first and second generation of immigrants from the former Soviet Union (mostly, Ukraine and Belorussia, but also Russia itself). Pretty much the entire neighborhood is Russian-speaking.

The wooden boardwalk is apparently the place to go "for a walk", see and be seen, while Brighton Beach Avenue itself serves as a commercial hub.
