It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Since I live there for more then 18 years, I can claim that a neighborhood is a great place for residence, homestays, strolling, fishing, shopping, or just walking those quiet streets and breathing fresh air. It's contrast to Manhattan. Marine Park and Salt Marsh are nearby.Coney Island and beaches are not so far (especially for drivers) However, the public transit is really an issue in the eastern part of neighborhood. Subway is a bit apart, and most of the buses are crowded. Yet walking afoot to the subway is a healthy alternative. Also there are three superstores with Russia food and a couple of oriental buffet, and much more of other ethnic food Mike Kosher, Halal, Pizza, etc.
