About Brooklyn

New York City is a wild and crazy place, full of opportunity, diversity, and many unique boroughs within its city limits. One such borough is Brooklyn, which has achieved a level of popularity in music and film due in part to its vibrant culture and the pride of those who were raised here. Brooklyn is arguably the most popular borough within New York City, and as such is also the largest and most populated. It's not hard to see why, either — whether your a resident or just passing through, Brooklyn has a lot to offer.

It wasn't until the late 1800s that Brooklyn was incorporated into the bigger, more stable city of New York, and as such lost its claim as "city" and became a borough. Many residents, however, feel that Brooklyn is very much its own city, not only because of its large population, but because of its distinct, unique culture.

In the twenty-first century, Brooklyn has undergone a renaissance of sorts, with many young people moving to the city. This influx of "hipster" artists and musicians caused a large and noticeable cost increase in housing, creating a large demand within the city of Brooklyn. As a result of this, many large companies, specifically in the technology industry, have moved to Brooklyn to take advantage of all of this young energy. Many start-ups have flocked to Brooklyn, as well.

Because of Brooklyn's location in New York City, it has found its way as a mecca for immigrants from around the world. As a result of this, there are a plethora of cultures and ways of life that are present throughout Brooklyn's colorful streets. Muslim, Chinese, Arab, Russian, Jewish, Latino, Polish, Irish, Greek, LGBT, and more... it seems like people from all walks of life have found their way to Brooklyn, and Brooklyn has accepted them with open arms.

Living in the big city can be overwhelming at times, and Brooklyn residents love the many parks and recreational areas located throughout the city. These parks provide a way to reconnect with nature and take a deep breath, forgetting the troubles of big city life. One of the more popular parks in Brooklyn is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which is a favorite among residents and a popular tourist destination in its own right. With over fifty acres of gardens, ponds, conservatories, and other outdoor areas, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a great place to spend an afternoon in Brooklyn.
