Prospect Park BBQ Guide
The 4th of July is a time to enjoy the city outdoors—and we think that Prospect Park is one of the best places to do just that. With numerous spaces to barbecue, and some of the best scenery in Brooklyn, you’re sure to enjoy your holiday. So here, we present our guide to doing the 4th as our founders intended: with hot dogs, hamburgers, and some much-needed sunshine.
Every good barbecue needs supplies. Luckily, this is Brooklyn, and you can get just about anything, just about anywhere, just about anytime.
If you need basic supplies for a barbecue (meat, soda, cheese, veggies, watermelon, you know the drill) these groceries are within blocks of the park, ready to help you out.
Lincoln Market, located at 33 Lincoln Road, between Flatbush and Ocean avenues.
Key Food, located at 786 Flatbush Avenue, between Lenox Road and Clarkson Avenue.
