That photo isn't Sunset Park, it's Greenwood Heights or South Slope - it's on 5th Ave. and 18th St.

The name would obviously be Kate-Rod.

Once again Jen, you show your lack of mastery of the English language. To what are you adding? EARLY EDITION- get with it.

That's Eagle Provisions, and as Smitty said, it's not in Sunset Park.

According to the book "The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn" (Yale University Press), the boundaries of Sunset Park are:

North: Prospect Expwy
West: water (Upper Bay of NY Harbor)
East: 8th Ave.
South: 65 St
