Manhattan Is to Brooklyn As...
In a rather glowing profile of The Developers Group today, The Daily News cites one sales strategy of its founder, Elan Padeh: He asks prospective Brooklyn buyers which neighborhoods they like in Manhattan, and then directs them towards their Brooklyn equivalents.

In a rather glowing profile of The Developers Group today, The Daily News cites one sales strategy of its founder, Elan Padeh: He asks prospective Brooklyn buyers which neighborhoods they like in Manhattan, and then directs them towards their Brooklyn equivalents. Here’s how he lines them up:
Park Slope = Upper West Side
Williamsburg = East Village + Tribeca
Fort Greene = West Village
Dumbo = Soho
Carroll Gardens = Nolita
Pretty accurate, we’d say. What are some others?

I would kill for a properly made Presbyterian right now. But with Rye. Bourbon is for girls.
“prime soho”
Is soho really big enough or diverse enough that there are “prime” and “not prime” sections? I think not…
Bourbon Presbyterian is the new Appletini.
None taken. I’m sure there are several areas of Brooklyn that resemble Spanish Harlem.
Wow, that was an incoherent sentence. Excuse me while I run to Balthazar for my morning Red Eye.
What a silly freakin article. There’s never been a “new soho” no matter how desperate developers are to call dumbo, or williamsburg or whatever. Williamsburg isn’t the new east village. The indie music scene is decent, but nothing like what was going on in the 70s and 80s. FG = WV?? Really? I heard for years Cobble Hill was the new WV.
I think it’s true that Brooklyn is the new creative center for NYC, but there’s not nearly the stuff going on there was 10,20,30 years ago (except construction of new condos and Duane Reades replacing locally owned business)
I nominate the greenwood cemetary comment for SOTD! I know it’s early in the day but it surely rates the award.

Greenwood Cemetery = Dead
No disrespect THL, but I think parts of Bushwick are closer to Spanish Harlem than Sunset Park
