Neatly tucked in between two established neighborhoods, Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, Gowanus has become a trendy neighborhood in its own right. Gowanus is named after the industrial canal that runs through the neighborhood, designated as a Superfund site. Warehouses have given way to loft apartments, hotels, and hip new eateries along 3rd Avenue, along with Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club, which draws crowds from all over the city, and the perpetually crowded Ample Hills Creamery next door. Brooklyn's first Whole Foods opened its doors on the corner of 3rd Street and 3rd Avenue in 2013 and remains one the borough's most popular grocery stores.
