One of Brooklyn's many up-and-coming neighborhoods, Fort Greene has serious roots in pre-American history, from the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam to the battlegrounds of the Battle Of Long Island fought by General Washington in the Revolutionary War. Situated north of Prospect Park and Prospect Heights, the Fort Greene area includes the Brooklyn Navy Yard--the future home of Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Studios--and the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, Brooklyn's tallest building. Also scattered within the borders of the neighborhood are venerable institutions like the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, Long Island University, and the new home of the Brooklyn Nets, the Atlantic Yards.
