Brooklyn is a borough in New York City. It’s a densely packed, urban environment that tends to be quieter than the bustling Manhattan. It’s one of the most densely populated counties in all of the United States and you’ll feel that when you’re exploring Brooklyn. There’s a lively atmosphere throughout the borough and you’ll see family-owned businesses, five star restaurants, historic homes, gorgeous green spaces, and incredible architecture.
Originally part of the Dutch colonies, Brooklyn was incorporated into NYC in 1898. As the city urbanized, Brooklyn became a major hub for manufacturing, and thus, developed neighborhoods to house and feed these workers. Many different groups of people immigrated to the borough and established communities within the city. Though Brooklyn has been a part of NYC for over one hundred years, the borough has its own unique identity, and Brooklynites tend to be proud of where they’re from.
Brooklyn is a cultural hub for music, art, and design. The Brooklyn Philharmonic performs in the city. The borough also has the second largest public art museum in the city, the Brooklyn Museum. Other museums in the area include The Brooklyn Children’s Museum. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden takes up 52 acres in the center of the city and features gorgeous exhibits. The borough runs dozens of its own local publications and Brooklyn even has their own NBA team, the Brooklyn Nets.
