A trend and shopping expert and fourth-generation New Yorker's
chic, full-color guide to the best boutiques, shopping routes,
restaurants, cafes, and bars in New York City's "It" borough,
highlighting more than 200 favorite destinations and shops for both
style-oriented travelers and New Yorkers alike. The fourth most
popular travel destination in the world, New York City draws
millions of visitors annually, including more than fifty-four
million people in 2014 alone. At the center of this white-hot
destination is none other than the borough of Brooklyn-the mecca of
twenty-first century cool and style. Now, native New Yorker Rachel
Felder, a widely published journalist specializing in fashion,
beauty, travel, and trends, has created a portable, beautifully
designed, personally curated anthology that brings this fashionable
borough into focus as never before, featuring not-to-be-missed
highlights and covering everything-from food to furniture to
fashion-it has to offer. Rachel takes you into some of the
borough's most diverse and charming neighborhoods, including
Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Fort Greene, Boerum
Hill, Carroll Gardens, Prospect Heights, and DUMBO. She begins with
valuable travel advice, including a precisely selected list of
hotels, cafes, bars, bakeries, festivals, salons, and markets. She
provides a sample itinerary for trip planning, as well as a
comprehensive list of Brooklyn's main attractions-including its
major landmarks, parks and gardens, museums and zoos, noteworthy
restaurants, bars and breweries, and artisanal food shops. She then
takes you into individual neighborhoods, exploring each thoroughly
by shop type and goods, providing the complete address, phone
number, and website for each. Insider Brooklyn is filled with
must-have advice on trendsetting furniture and decor; antiques and
vintage; clothing for men, women, and children; jewelry, both
affordable and high-end; beauty-makeup, perfume, and salons; health
and wellness, including juices, gear, and fitness specialists;
children's goods; stylish kitchen essentials and decorating for the
table; unique art and objects; rare oddities and curiosities; and
favorite bookstores, specialty grocers, and niche shops. The stores
have been chosen with an expert's eye, including new discoveries,
popular mainstays, and neighborhood gems worth visiting. Bursting
with invaluable insights, helpful tips, and must-see destinations,
Insider Brooklyn is an indispensable resource and a visual feast
for tourists and business visitors headed to the city, locals-both
Brooklynites and other New Yorkers-and armchair travelers who
simply want to dream about and shop it from home.
