im curious about those especially not from the north east coast
and those from other countries
i had a funny yet not funny incident with a bnb guests
and everyone i know is cracking up about it because we live here and we know what BK is like
what's everyday to us, really rattled these people
like they complained that people rode motorcycles the wrong way on the street
and im like...welcome to thursdays *shrug*
i guess im...hardened?
LOL

BKers, what do your friends/family/visitors think about where you live?

It's about the size of what's left of ChinaTown in New York.

It's super grimey - and every every corner there's an artisan pickle shop. Filled with the roughest toughs and the metro-i-est sex-uals.

This is my impression of Flushing Meadows in a GIF: http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17o5dqrhv0cyegif/original.gif

im surprised that pickle shop isnt here yet
unless ricks picks has a shop now

here for dis.

It would look like a scene from the Warriors.

I stayed near the Barclays & was amazed at how big Brooklyn was. I walked from the hotel to Flatbush & that shit was eye opening! I went from sushi & ramen spots to some West Indian cat tryna sell me fake Beats headphones out of a liquor store bag.

I was blown away at how clean it was for that many people to be there & SAFE (relativily speaking). I got lost on the train & everyone i asked for directions was eager as hell to help, one person even walked me to the right train so that was wild.

The clubs were weak as shit though

i agree on the clubs
but i cut my teeth on partying down south so...

Shit pops but its forced to be under the radar. Which means you gotta spend alot of energy keeping in the know to whats popping. Which means after a certain age most of us sit on bar stools in lounges whining about the above, being old as shit.

then manhattan is better. but you have to deal with the crowds

if it's a weekend and i need to buy something to wear i always try and see if i can get it at uniqlo at atlantic terminal or urban outfitters or H&M or even Nordstrom Rack lol

where i live there's enough restaurants bars/spots w/ djs/clubs in the immediate vicinity to not have to go to manhattan

i get that if u lived there, even staying with friends or visiting friends

but in terms of just as a visitor to new york city, what does bk have to offer that manhattan doesnt?

im talking tourist, im talking this is my first time to new york, im not getting a bnb in bk, waste of time

bk has just never impressed me, ive given it SEVERAL tries at this point, i can find cool restaurants and bars in atlanta or ST louis for that matter

when i think of new york i think of skyscrappers and bustle and lights and thats what ill stick to now besides visiting friends

ppl get offended and im sorry for that but ppl shit on atlanta all the time, those are the breaks, it aint for everybody

stand ur ground, believe in urself,

but bk has

the flea
smorgasburg
various festivals throughout the summer that are specifically for young POC
best clubs in NYC right now are in Brooklyn depending on your scene

for a sightseeing type brooklyn definitely isn't where it's at but if you're a young person trying to have fun Manhattan really doesn't have all that much to offer

If you're young and want to do "cool" shit, Brooklyn is going to be a main destination

or cronuts lol

but ur right that is bk's appeal...that its the "cool" place to be, its the agreed upon idea that bk is cool and thats where the cool kids go lol

im grown enuff and secure enuff to know what i want out of my new york trip

last time i was in new york, went to the bk museum to see the kehinde wiley exhibit, it was awesome but it just happened to be in bk, i had great drinks at a place around the corner from my frat's place in williamsburg, i paid 15 dollars for an AMAZING sandwich at this deli/grocery across the street from his place, it was my third time visiting that particular shop since he's been living on that block. all thats well and good but that coulda happened in any city USA to be honest lol

but when i was taking the roosevelt island sky lift across and pumping thru manhattan i felt like i was actually somewhere different, somewhere completely unique and amazing. thats what i want

The city on the weekends
With all of the restaurants, parks, parties and things to do in bk
I never left it on the weekends

And I'm hollering free my baby CERSEI

my yester night thang got me hung off the night train "

I think what makes BK awesome is cultural; there is so much to do in Brooklyn every weekend, and Brooklyn has such a strong young Black scene, that going elsewhere often seems pointless.

That said, if somebody doesn't get what others find appealing about a place, then it's just not for them. Although I know few young Black New Yorkers who would choose Manhattan over Brooklyn in 2015, I can totally see why Black people in Atlanta would prefer Harlem over Bed-Stuy. And at the end of the day, it's pretty dope that NYC offers both areas (plus others of course lol) to choose from.

when u asked me to.

I got a good life man

I always thought it was that more black dominate neighborhood till this hipster white cat moved to my city from there and I was confused. He told me "Man brooklyn got too expensive, too many brokers and uppity white folk, so I sold my house and moved here." Now he lives in a predominately black/asian neighborhood filled with corner stores and coffee spots on the west coast.

we keep it moving,

aka - Chicago but dirtier.

fuck you.
