Brooklyn ethnic enclaves
by el_ruso
New York outer boroughs host people from all over the world who try to make a living and allow their children live the American dream - whatever it could mean to them. However, the strange thing (at least to me), is that they strongly resist living together, and there are thus Russian neighborhoods, Indian neighborhoods, Mexican neighborhoods, Italian neighborhoods, etc. I think it would be more interesting and fun if all those neighborhoods were more ethnically mixed, but the locals seem to like it just the way they are.
Vinegar Hill
by saw50st8
This recently revitalized neighbourhood boasts many belgian flagstone streets and cute cafes and bodegas. Its a great place to go for a jog or just wander and experience. Vinegar Hill is right off the Manhattan Bridge and is just a 4-5 block area. It is interesting to see the neighbourhood in the process of being revitalized.
Some movies and tv shows were filmed here, including part of a Sopranos episode. Many homes have old storefronts that were used in the film industry.
This area is not a must see, but if you are nearby stop in! Its right near the Metrotech Area.
Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
by barryg23
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York's most famous sites and it is easy to see why as it's a beautiful structure. The bridge itself looks great from the shoreline, while by walking along it you get great views of the city. We used to go jogging across the bridge at weekends which was surely one of the finest jogs in Manhattan - well worth it for the views.
Fresh Food galore!

The atmosphere depends completely on who happens to be around at the time. Comfortable. They feature live music, spoken word, and art exhibits along with the vegetarian food. I'm a vegetarian, so it's a relief to just be able to order anything they have!
