Closing Bell: Country Living Hits Brooklyn
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.

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.

I just wish they would be a bit more careful about their neighborhoods. Nu is in downtown Brooklyn or Boerum Hill NOT Carrol gardens!
did they mention the small town rents too?
rob – why? i don’t get it. have you been to portland? it’s the land of really really doing nothing (except knitting). midwesterners typically work their asses off. i don’t see these types of places as being midwestern. san francisco is full of people that are all “from the farm to the table” even when they live smack in the middle of the city and own 2 cars and work for some big corporation.
NYC is the center for photography, art, advertising, publishing, theater and music. where should be go who want to work in these industries?
stop being such a hater, you’ll live longer, and nj? really? that gives you bragging rights?
i have to go, so you can have the last word.

Your party is NOT happening if out-of-towners can impact it in any way. Brooklyn people don’t worry abouyt stuff like that.
