There are 24 supermarkets, just need to look? NYC doesn't have TONS of 24 hour supermarkets either. Lots of 24 hour bodegas but that's not the same thing...

I used to live on 4th and bergen and I loved it and miss it.

bc i can cross the street at any time of the day w/o needing to look. dont have cars/busses whizzing along at all hours. no starbucks, no subway, no verizon mobile stores, no lululemon, no bs. top quality restaurants, new/hip and old school joints that've been around 1922. great bars. i can get an entire floor of a brownstone w/ character for the same price as a shitty, cramped cookie cutter 1BR in boring ass midtown east. oh and i can easily keep a car.

u need more?

+ rep for Russian love.

Brooklyn would be the third largest city in amerika if it were not counted as part of the five boroughs...

i plus repped you instead of negged cause of bk love rage. know that the only little green dot on your list hurts more than any of the countless red you must have by now.

i honestly question the validity of your opinion, go back to rural kansas.

also b/c at least 1 out of every 5 decent bands since 2001 planted their seeds here.

above all else, bitches in fort greene, park slope, carroll gardens/cobble hill and some nooks of w'burg are way too fuckin legit and dress they asssss off.

Reasons I loved my old place in BK:

- Walking distance to Atlantic Ave/Pacific Street stations, which is unarguably the best station in the system (2/3,4/5,N/R/Q/W,B/D,M, LIRR and F/G and A/C within walking distance in other stations). I could get anywhere in manhattan faster on average than just about anyone else.

- $1600 3BR right on fourth avenue. Month-to-month same rent for 4 years.

- TONS of good restaurants. About 100x better than where I live now in washington heights

- Stoop sales

- Lots of good bars nearby including some real gems like frank's lounge

- A lot of my friends live there

- REALLY beautiful neighborhoods and great neighbors. I knew all my neighbors in my building and all the people who ran the local businesses

- Park slope food coop, california taqueria, my gym, and park slope yoga all on the same 2 blocks.

- Halcyon record shop, the Anchorage party space inside one of the pylons for the brooklyn bridge (I saw thomas brinkmann there once and it was fucking amazing - cover $5)

I could go on and on. Brooklyn is a culturally rich place full of great new yorkers and great new york experiences. It's proximal to manhattan, while maintaining a little more of a neighborhood-y feel.

I would never live in williamsburg though for the single reason that it is unacceptably dirty and all the buildings are shitholes.

Wow, here's the info on that party. I love the internet:
