Why it’s worth visiting Brooklyn

When we think of New York we should know that we are not just talking about Manhattan. Districts and neighborhoods like the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island or Brooklyn make the experience even more interesting.

In particular, Brooklyn is a huge district in which more than 2.6 million people live and it is worth the time to get to know it since there is a lot to see there. They say that if Brooklyn were a city, it would be the fourth largest in the United States after New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Its name comes from Breuckelen, the name the Dutch gave it after a city in the Netherlands. The story goes that the first European settlers settled there in the year 1634.

Until the year 1898, Brooklyn was an independent city. Later, throughout the 19th century, thanks to the boom in factories and industries on the banks of the East River, Brooklyn had grown so rapidly that it gradually absorbed the small neighboring cities.
With the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, the first bridge over the East River, the city also became much better connected to Manhattan. It was in the year 1894 when the inhabitants of Brooklyn voted to join Manhattan and thus, in 1898, the city of New York was formed as we know it today.

Crossing the Brooklyn bridge is an experience. The Brooklyn Bridge is a historical symbol of New York and a fundamental part of the city. Considered a world reference, it was cataloged as one of the wonders of 19th century engineering, a must-see postcard for all visitors who set foot on New York soil and of course the setting for numerous films such as Godzilla, Cloverfield or The Amazing Spiderman 2, and a source of inspiration of poets, musicians and other artists.
It is 1.5 kilometers away that can be covered on foot in about 20-40 minutes and admiring the views is something that is worth it.
Brooklyn, as its own inhabitants say, is “home to everyone from everywhere”, which is clearly noticeable in the cultural diversity of its neighborhoods. The truth is that for decades the independent cultural movement of New York moved to Brooklyn, thus turning it into the new Village.


For those who want to take unforgettable moments with them, they should know which are the most important neighborhoods in Brooklyn:

Dumbo

Located at the foot of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, it is the first thing you come across when you arrive in Brooklyn. Its abbreviation corresponds to “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass” It is a recently industrialized industrial area that has become one of the most attractive in the city.
Walking around, you can catch a glimpse of the famous lofts that used to be factories in the past, and are a favorite hangout for artists, architects, and designers. You can also find luxury apartments, fashion stores, galleries and fine restaurants.
One of the most representative elements of the neighborhood is Jane’s Carousel, which was restored by an artist from Dumbo who has respected all the elements of the original design. Today it is in operation, protected by a transparent acrylic pavilion designed by the architect Jean Nouvel.
williamsburg
In recent years, Williamsburg has become a neighborhood that, in addition to being picturesque, is home to a cultural renaissance where alternative art, graffiti, retro shops, organic foods stand out.
On the other hand, it is also known for being home to the most orthodox Jewish community in New York, the Hasidics.

Green Point

The second largest concentration of Poles after Chicago resides in this area.
Because it is not so well connected to Manhattan, Greenpoint retains residential streets with a calm climate that make it very special. It is also a preferred destination for hipsters, thus becoming an extension of its neighbor Williamsburg.

Coney Island

Famous for its wooden boardwalk next to the Atlantic and Luna Park – an amusement park from the early 20th century – it is a special neighborhood for nostalgics.
Ideal place to go in the summer and buy a hot dog from Nathan’s since this is where they were invented in 1867.

Brooklyn Heights

It is located next to the Brooklyn Bridge and is one of the most elegant neighborhoods in New York outside of Manhattan.
The neighborhood has residential streets with the emblematic brownstones, those brown brick buildings that we have seen so many times in series and movies. The houses are quiet and shady, a kind of haven of peace from the bustling Big Apple.
The story goes that when the Brooklyn Ferry opened in the early 19th century, the wealthiest of Manhattanites began to build beautiful homes in Brooklyn Heights. Without a doubt, it is still a highly desirable neighborhood to live in due to its beautiful tree-lined streets and spectacular views of the river.
It was designated New York’s first historic district in 1965 and has been protected ever since.
