A Brief Guide To Southern and Eastern Brooklyn
Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched a new initiative, Neighborhood X Neighborhood, “designed to support local businesses and encourage tourism in neighborhoods outside traditional tourist locations across five boroughs.”
But according to the Brooklyn map that goes along with the initiative, nothing south of Prospect Park appears to be worth seeing.
The guide focuses on Bushwick, Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, BoCoCa, Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Williamsburg. In addition, City Sights NYC, a large tour bus company, is “expanding” its services to Brooklyn. Buses will go over the Brooklyn Bridge, but only stop off at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum and the Barclays Center.
