NY Press Gets All Brooklyn On Us
We're not going to get a chance to wade through all the neighborhood essays in NY Press special Brooklyn issue until this weekend so we've got no witty outtakes to share as of yet.

And at the low, low price of free, what've you got to lose! (Just make sure you get a copy before the dog-walkers use 'em all up.)

Yeah, and the Prospect Heights profile is about living over near Classon -- which is in Crown Heights!

It's 2006 and an allegedly "alternative" paper is having a "Brooklyn Issue."

I thought "Dogs of Gowanus" was pretty good.
