| WHY GO |
| Once home to Mailer, Capote and Miller (this is where he set A View From the Bridge) the 'new' Brooklyn is all about food, style and class, not real-estate deals and flight from the ever-exploding property prices in Manhattan. Brooklyn is huge, a vast borough that sprawls from Manhattan's bridges out to the Atlantic Ocean and, with two-and-a-half million people, it is the fourth biggest city in the USA. It has delis and restaurants to rival any in New York and, thanks to its ethnic diversity, an astounding variety of cuisines. Make sure you explore stylish Williamsburg - called the new East Village, which still remains a vibrant immigrant community, take in shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which has the best cutting-edge dance, theatre and music in New York, and visit The Brooklyn Museum of Art, where the now infamous Sensation exhibition was born. |
