| If you're looking for a vine in your very narrow space, try akebia. There are deep purple as well as white flowering varieties, with an edible fruit (though my vine is fairly new and not producing fruit yet). It's classified as invasive in the mid-atlantic states, but you should have no trouble with it in a confined Brooklyn garden. It is also called fiveleaf akebia or chocolate vine. The Missouri Botanic Garden (see link) has good information, but not a good photo of the vine in flower. This site has good photos of four of the flowering types:
