We often hear that Brooklyn is the coolest borough in New York City, but with more than 2.6 million people in the last census, it is also the most populous! If the neighborhood became an entire city, it would be the fourth largest in the United States. Gone are the days when Brooklyn was just “the suburbs” of Manhattan. The “affirmation” in Brooklyn is the new Manhattan” is no longer really debated, probably because the borough, long ignored by tourists and wealthy New Yorkers, has kept a little more of its authenticity. Today, Brooklyn is more attractive than ever. Manhattan residents no longer hesitate on weekends to cross the East River to discover new trendy restaurants and bars. Rents are also cheaper in neighbourhoods that do not face the East River directly. But like Manhattan of course, Brooklyn is subject to the phenomenon of gentrification. In less than 10 years, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Carrolls Garden or Bushwick have become as expensive as some parts of Manhattan. Despite the rise in prices, there is a special atmosphere in this borough, in which it is imperative to immerse yourself during a stay in New York. Brooklyn has its accent, lifestyle and identity, marked by great diversity: what do East New York, a somewhat threatening ghetto, have in common with the alignments of Brooklyn Heights’s wealthy private homes or Bushwick’s hipster-filled hipster lofts, if not a common belonging to this vast borough ? All of them claim their love and pride to be part of it... It’s in Brooklyn state of mind!
