What To See Along the B8 Bus Route?
The B8 bus line moves through some of Brooklyn’s most layered streets, offering a cross-section of local life that spans parks, neighborhoods, and historic pockets.
Start at the southern end near the VA Hospital and Shore Road in Dyker Heights. Watch for waterfront views and tree-lined blocks. Ride along 18th Avenue, one of Brooklyn’s liveliest commercial corridors, where small bakeries, old-style Italian markets, and clothing shops sit close together.
Past Foster Avenue, the route curves into quieter, residential stretches filled with brick homes and corner bodegas. Newkirk Avenue and Nostrand Avenue form the backbone of Flatbush and East Flatbush, each offering access to Caribbean food spots, barbershops, and independent grocers.
If you want to reach Cropsey Avenue from Flatbush, you can catch the B6 Bus Line.
Near Rockaway Parkway, riders reach Brownsville, an area with deep roots in jazz and boxing history. Look outside and you will see murals, playgrounds, and longtime residents who keep the street corners active.
