New York Mag: Brooklyn as an Adjective

In case you didn’t leave your house yesterday, our beloved borough was the subject of yet another cover story, this time in New York Magazine. The issue focuses on Brooklyn style, in the process touching on furniture design, art, interiors and fashion. Our favorite pieces? The story of an East Village family’s renovation of two floors of a Brooklyn Heights brownstone and the story of a native son’s return to his family home in Flatbush. Did you learn anything new or interesting from the issue?
Brooklyn Style [New York Magazine]
i don’t want to be a groove stomp on the brooklyn parade. but these glossy magazines and pr mavens are acting like we just floated up and tied our boats to the bridge last week.
i’m all for the shops and eateries to get their due. we’ve all busted our butts to scrape together the resources to make them happen. it just seems like the spirit that created them is getting lost in the hype.
brooklyn’s working parts are what makes it so amazing. people have been here for centuries making this borough what it is today. just hope that perspective doesn’t get lost in all the new names we’re suddenly being called.
BRAVO LEO!
Brooklyn is becoming a boomtown and that’s a good thing for all Brooklynites. New stores and restaurants are coming here. Schools are getting better and streets are getting safer.
why would anyone pay attention to what ny mag has to say and have it affect their self esteem? the magazine is just fun to read for its stupidity. i read the post too for page 6, pure entertainment.
If you live in Brooklyn, you shouldn’t read New York magazine, because no matter how much they write about how “great” Brooklyn is, their ultimate agenda is to make you feel inferior you don’t live in Manhattan. Why would you want to put yourself through that?
I hate New York Magazine.
Anon 10:13, you should check out chowhound.com. If you think people on this blog love to argue, wait til you get a load of that site!
Just clicked on the link and saw the photo of the “crew”. What’s with all the long faces? Smile folks, you get to live in Brooklyn! Don’t worry, we’ll still take you seriously…I couldn’t agree more with Anon 10:13 about the vendors at the Red Hook Pool. Yum.
New York magazine is nothing more than real-estate porn. Calling it “shallow” gives it too much credit. I especially love how they have almost no Brooklyn restaurants in their dining guide but then when they choose to do that little “focus box” on a new restaurant, 8 out of ten times, it’s in Brooklyn.
