Fulton Street

FULTON STREET Urban department store shopping originated on Fulton Street—and the district continues to thrive today as a vibrant shopping destination. Renamed the Fulton Street Mall in 1985, Fulton Street offers an eclectic mix of national chaïas and local enterprises. Visitors will find restaurants and more than 250 stores, offering a wide variety of clothing, sporting goods, footwear, music, children's wear, electronics and jewelry. A shopping street for over 200 years, Fulton Street displays a mix of Romanesque Revival, neo-Classical, neo-Gothic, neo-Renaissance and Art Deco building facades fashioned of terracotta, cast iron, limestone and modern materials. The landmarked interior of the Washington Mutual Savings Bank, formerly The Dime Savings Bank, at Albee Square, deserves admiration. As the third highest volume retail district in New York City, the Mall's mix of stores defines today's urban style. "Brooklyn is very rich, very fertile The stories, the ideals, the different looks."
