CBS2's HannahKliger spent part of Monday in Brooklyn's 'Little Caribbean,' a community formally distinguished in 2017. Leaders celebrated culture while also addressing concerns over rising housing costs.

-- Inside a Flatbush Avenue cafe covered in tropical flowers, Allison Dunn, an immigrant from Jamaica, blends sorrel into a smoothie. The red drink, often enjoyed in the Caribbean, is made of hibiscus flowers.

"I really wanted to create a space that sparked joy for people," she told CBS2's Hannah Kliger on Monday. Now tours run through the area. Last week, local leaders came out for a recent one in honor of Caribbean Heritage Month. State Sen. Zellnor Myrie said he's worried about rising housing costs in this community.
