From Paris to Rio, everyone's curious about hot, new Brooklyn. The
Brooklyn Experience, Ellen Freudenheim's fourth comprehensive
Brooklyn guidebook, offer a true insider's guide, complete with
photographs, itineraries, and insights into one of the most
creative, dynamic cities in the modern world. Walk over the
Brooklyn Bridge at dawn or sunset, discover forty unique Brooklyn
neighborhoods, and experience the borough like a native. Find out
where to go to the beach and to eat great pizza, what to do with
the kids, how to enjoy free and cheap activities, and where to
savor Brooklyn's famous cuisines. Visit cool independent shops,
greenmarkets, festivals, and delve into the vibrant new cultural
scene at the Brooklyn Academy of Art, Barclay's Center, and the
lively exploding neighborhoods of DUMBO, Williamsburg, and
Bushwick. Included in the book are essays and the pithy, sometimes
funny comments of sixty cultural, literary, and culinary movers and
shakers, culled from exclusive interviews with experts from the
James Beard Foundation to the cofounder of the famous Brooklyn Book
Fair, as well as MacArthur genius award winners, to young
entrepreneurs, hipsters, and activists, all of whom have something
to say about Brooklyn's stunning renaissance. Neighborhood profiles
are rich in user-friendly information and details, including
movies, celebrities, and novels associated with each neighborhood.
There are also 800 listings of great restaurants, shops, and parks,
complete with contact information. Targeting the independent,
curious traveler, The Brooklyn Experience includes a dozen
do-it-yourself tours, including a visit to Woody Allen's childhood
neighborhood, and amazing Revolutionary and Civil War sites.
Freudenheim draws clear - and sometimes surprising - connections
between old and new Brooklyn. Written by an author with an
astounding knowledge of all Brooklyn has to offer, The Brooklyn
Experience will guide both first-time and repeat visitors, and will
be a fun resource for Brooklynites who enjoy exploring their own
hometown.
