BROOKLYN

New York's legendary city within a city - home to a century or more of strivers, dreamers, and Nobel laureates - is reinventing itself, neighborhood by neighborhood as an edgy metropolis… preferable to a new generation of artistic émigrés. This is where the artists and musicians choose to move. It's home to graffiti-ists, gaffers and key grips, to web designers and aspiring editors. This is where fashion stylists live. New York-bound hip-and-cool Seattle-ites prefer to move to Brooklyn; smart Stockholmers book their hotel rooms here.
