This Week In Ditmas Park

This week in Ditmas Park, 1,000 activists marched in Flatbush for racial justice, we welcomed a new taqueria to Cortelyou Road, got an inside look of a popular Ditmas Park garden, and scurried to catch an affordable housing lottery opened near Prospect Lefferts Gardens border.
