Pomme de Terre, a charming restaurant on Newkirk Avenue in Ditmas Park, opened recently next to an old storefront Pentacostal church. This image offers a striking illustration of a block in transition. The process is also under way in nearby Cortleyou Street, with restaurants like Picket Fence and The Farm on Adderley, whose owners are behind Pomme de Terre. It definitely stands out among its neighbors, with photos of some of these old-school shops after the jump.

Nice set of pictures; however, text has an error. The neighborhood where most of these were taken, the part that lies west of the Brighton Line, is not Ditmas Park, but Ditmas Park West. These are two distinct neighborhoods, often confused by newspapers and real estate agents, the former from ignorance, the latter from deception.
