Some very cool craft, and jewelry shops then, and a yarn store. A school yard flea market at times. Did about 1/2 mile each way.
Oh, and for a while a nice Mexican restaurant I'd get a tasty half, or a quarter ancho roasted chicken, w ?salsa. (But no fried crickets for me! Eeeee.)

I lived about 2-ish blocks east of Flatbush next to Park Slope about 2001 - 2009. Prospect Heights.
I also walked in the other direction to Grand Army Plaza, part of Prospect Park, and before the park - their wonderful, big Central Library! And also past the library to Brooklyn Botanical Garden a bunch of times a year Spring, Summer.
