"I'd heard from my more global friends that Brooklyn is a charming borough inhabited by cool young families, gourmet cheese shops, and creative intellectuals. It has parks! And trees! And slow walkers aren't mowed down on the sidewalk! But I'm what you might call a bona fide Manhattanite. Or, to be more precise, a bona fide Upper East Sider. I've traveled the world, I said to myself—how exotic could Brooklyn really be?" Disclaimer: We're not quite sure this story isn't a belated April Fool's gag. [VF]
