"New York’s legendary city within a city, home to a century or more of strivers, dreamers, and Nobel laureates, its reinventing itself, neighborhood by neighborhood, as an edgy metropolis."

"The hell with the "other four", Brooklyn is the borough."

"Best borough of NYC. The home of many greats: rappers, actors, singers, locations for great movies, pizza, nail places, hair salons, etc."

Originally a separate city, remnants of it's former name and occupation linger in names of streets and areas like 'Kings Highway' and 'Kings Plaza'. One of the boroughs to use the area code 718. Culturally diverse, it has neighborhoods where the predominating background is easily evident in the signage, the population, and the overall atmosphere. Home to the beautiful Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the previous home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, and housing one of the 'Big Three' in New York City specialized high schools, Brooklyn Technical High School.
