So a year after taking these photos, I finally got around to posting them. Talk about lazy:bash: :bash:

I spent an amazing four days in New York during New Year holidays. As NYC has dozens, if not hundreds, of these specific neighbourhoods, I decided to concentrate on exploring two of them. As there are no "Serbian Village" in New York , I opted for the next best things - Greek (and increasingly Serbian) Astoria in Queens and mostly Russian Brighton Beach in Brooklyn.

Here are the photos from the latter:

Brighton beach actually is mostly populated by Russian Jews, while the smaller Russian Orthodox Christian community resides somewhere in mid Manhattan (Or maybe its the Ukrainina community). What do I know about New York? :nuts:

^^ actually most russians there are jews

KM I think you need a lesson in urban photography cuz' those were horrible :lol:

Interesting neighborhood.
