"Don't Rule Out Brooklyn" says Omar the Oracle, "Convince me" I say
Being new to Manhattan I want to fully embrace Manhattan, but I keep hearing about Brooklyn being the new Manhattan......any thoughts on this? A hip 24 year old whispered in my ear "Brooklyn thinks it's the new Manhattan but it's not."
Hmmm, it wasn't so much a competition I was intending between Manhattan and Brooklyn as it was an invitation to offer up enticements to make the train ride over...tell me more about what places/things to do reflect Brooklyn's personality.
Brooklyn is not the new Manhattan. It is Brooklyn. It has its own personality. No competition required.
