Chinese Restaurants in Dyker Heights Brooklyn, New York

When you're visiting Manhattan, don't overlook New York City's largest borough across the East River. Trek the almost 6,000-foot-long walkway above the traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge to, well, Brooklyn. With more than 2 million people and dozens of distinct neighborhoods, Brooklyn offers outdoor enthusiasts parks, beaches, bike paths and open spaces. The historic neighborhood of Dyker Heights, in the southern part of Brooklyn, is home to the 18-hole Dyker Beach Golf Course, 46-acre Dyker Beach Park and is a short drive to the renowned 52-acre Brooklyn Botanic Garden. And if you like Chinese food, Dyker Heights won't let you down.
