Brooklyn

Brooklyn is no doubt a cool place, but the amount of hipster bs there puts philly to the test! Just try and have fun. (See; dancing and singing along with bands at shows, having fun, not crossing your arms and staring at the floor, etc..).

brooklyn is new york’s best kept secret.

I only live here… lol

i miss living there, and i miss Texas fried chicken at 2am, and 22s of colt 45 for a buck.

I live and work in Brooklyn and I absoulutely love it. It’s got a more laid-back vibe to it then you’ll ever find in Manhattan. Although parts of it are slowly turning into annexed parts of Manhattan, it’s definitely worth checking out. If you’re planning to move to NYC, I’d seriously consider looking at Brooklyn.

Even when I wasn’t doing anything special or needed to get away from family, I would just walk and walk and walk. So much to see if you’re into observing things.

for visiting Brooklyn. During my last visit to NYC, which lasted a whole month, I wanted to see Brooklyn but I was sort of afraid to go there alone (don’t laugh, you hear some stories about Brooklyn and then you are scared!).

Then one morning I was sitting in front of NYSE and reading my guide book, when this very kind man, Raoul, asked me if I needed any help – btw, the most used opening line for NYC men! ;-) So we started talking and I told him I am a journalist and have to write about nice places in NYC, so he suggested I visit Brooklyn Heights, where he grew up. I felt reassured that it wasn’t dangerous to go there, so I actually took the subway at noon and got off at the first stop in B. Heights.

That area is adorable! Not scary at all, full of nice people willing to give directions, lovely houses and children playing. I took a stroll on the Promenade (took very nice pictures of the city’s skyline) and then walked down to the Brooklyn Bridge, found it’s tricky entrance and got back to Manhattan via the bridge at sunset… so romantic.

Want to get oysters at 2 AM, then feed the swans with bread from the all night convinience store run by an Indian man?

Go to Sheepshead Bay.

(This was probably one of the highlights of the last time I was in Brooklyn.)

I live in the McKibbin ST lofts in Bushwick.

It’s fucking fantastic. I love it.

That’s all.

I lived in BKLYN for 3+ years!
