Katelijne De BackerIn this guide, Katelijne takes you off the beaten path, focussing on Brooklyn's neighbourhoods and their strong sense of local identity. Bedford-Stuyvesant is a historically black middle-class neighbourhood, Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill are old Italian neighbourhoods, and Brooklyn Heights is a celebrity filled historic district. Park Slope is jokingly known as the home of lesbians and baby strollers, Williamsburg and Bushwick are the hoods of hipsters and artists, and so on.
