Vanderbilt Avenue
Hours of operation: Fridays 5PM–10PM; Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 12PM–10PM
During its operating season, Vanderbilt Avenue is fully closed to traffic on weekends to create over four acres of temporary public open space for outdoor dining, programming and events, passive and active recreation, and picnicking. Vanderbilt Avenue operates under DOT’s Open Streets program as a Full Closure street. It is one of the largest such volunteer-led Open Streets in New York City, and currently the only one in Brooklyn.
