Homecrest branch library, Coney Island Avenue

The neighborhood branch library on Coney Island Avenue, serving a large local immigrant population from Russia, China, Pakistan, India and Mexico.

History

It was used as a filming location for A Bronx Tale in 1993 and Brooklyn's Finest in 2009. The branch's address carries the 11223 ZIP code, a Gravesend-area code; its position on Coney Island Avenue, Homecrest's contested western edge, likely explains the mismatch.
