More about the book
Brooklyn -- famed for its bridge, its long-departed Dodgers, its Botanic Garden, and its accent -- is the most populous borough in New York City and arguably the most colorful. Generously illustrated with both historical and contemporary photographs, this book is an indispensable and entertaining guide, taking us on a tour of some 90 neighborhoods (including ghost neighborhoods that no longer exist) and identifying the boundaries of each one through a neighborhood profile and a street map. This book promises to be an essential resource for past, present, and future residents. This book is a joint publication of the Citizens Committee for New York City and Yale University Press.
