The map above is part of a Country Living feature called “Brooklyn’s Small-Town Charms.” Here’s part of the piece’s intro: “Today, Brooklyn still feels more heartland than Big Apple, with ribbon-worthy pie cafés hanging out shingles next to soda shops and general stores. To make navigating this supersized Mayberry manageable, we planned day trips around three of our favorite areas — Greenpoint and Williamsburg; Atlantic Avenue, Carroll Gardens, and Red Hook; and Prospect Park and Park Slope (highlighted on map) — then homed in on the best spots to shop, eat, and explore.” Brooklyn as a “supersized Mayberry”? OK.

> ah, stfu, i dont even vote.
You also don’t appear to know the meaning of the phrase “ugly American.”
Per Wikipedia: “Ugly American is an epithet used to refer to perceptions of loud, arrogant, demeaning, thoughtless and ethnocentric behavior of American citizens mainly abroad, but also at home.”
Alrighty then, I’m STFUing for the evening.
“so that you can get out from behind your Brownstoner persona”
Carol Gardens, CarrollGardened (nka CGar aka CarGar and occasionally CatGar) here. It’s really not a persona. With *rob*, what you see, er, read, is what you get.

Tourism has picked up ten fold in the last 2 years with people coming from the UK and Europe so now I think Brooklyn is being served to the rest of the country as a “quaint” place to visit…. even if we who live here don’t like it..
hmmm.. you may be spot on with that… ive been working in soho for 10 years now and eurotrash is just something people that work in the area have had to put up with for a VERY long time… but it invades where you actually live, gahhh.
*rob*
hmmm – I am curious as to what the reading demographic is for Country Living?
Well we can look at it this way: Tourism has picked up ten fold in the last 2 years with people coming from the UK and Europe so now I think Brooklyn is being served to the rest of the country as a “quaint” place to visit…. even if we who live here don’t like it..
