In a recent Time Out New York article they presented 5 reasons of why Brooklyn is the best borough for their “Battle of the Borough” series. While there reasons seam legit they don’t even come close to the greatness that is of Brooklyn, NY.

Here are their reasons:

  • We’re living in a writer’s paradise, where you could bump into Jonathan Lethem, Chuck Klosterman or Jonathan Ames.
  • How about those fucking brownstones, though?
  • DIY venue Death by Audio (and the awesomely sweaty shows it hosts) could only happen here.
  • The century-old Sunny’s in Red Hook sets the standard for all great watering holes.
  • Think New York is becoming soft? Go to a raging loft party deep in Bushwick at 5am on a Saturday. Then get back to us. Capisci?

 

Yeah, that’s pretty much it. They stated nothing more than that. No, there is so much more, so much more.

1. The greatest rapper was born here, Notorious B.I.G!
