Thursday Thirteen

Here’s 13 Great Things about Brooklyn, New York:1.  The people in Brooklyn are the best around. Most people from Brooklyn will go out of their way to help someone else. NY is known as the most polite state now!2.  Brooklyn is a lot prettier than people think.

3.  Brooklyn has some great museums to visit: The Brooklyn Museum,the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Coney Island, NY Aquarium, the Underground Railroad

4.   Thirteen famous people from Brooklyn: Woody Allen, the Beastie Boys, Steve Bucemi, Dorothy Day, Jackie Gleason, Jay-Z, Larry King, Lil Kim, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Barbara Streisand, Joan Rivers & Jerry Steinfeld

5.   We have the best pizza. If you haven’t had pizza in Brooklyn, you haven’t had good pizza.

6.  We have the best cheesecake too – Juniors Cheesecake. Yes, there is a reason the tiny cheesecake is $30.00. It’s so good!

7.  We are home of Peter Lugar’s Steakhouse. The place is very plain, but the steak is delicious! Reservations taken months in advance. And you have to bring cash – no charge cards taken.

8. We are home to the original Nathans Hot Dog. Each July 4th, there is a hot dog eating contest at Nathans.

9.  Brooklyn is a made of many cultural areas. Most neighborhoods were settled by cultural groups and the stores in the area reflect the culture. So if you hit Bensonhurst, you are bound to find many Italian bakeries.

10.   Brooklynites make goals to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to go to Manhattan.

11.  Brooklynites call Manhattan, “the city.”

12.  Brooklyn is the largest borough in NYC.

13.  I live in Bayridge, Brooklyn and it’s a great place to live!

Hugs,
marlene
