subject: Brooklyn Ny Hotels Reflect The Boroughs Diversity [print this page] Though Manhattan may get all the attention, Brooklyn is actually a bigger deal literally. Of all five boroughs of New York City, Brooklyn is the most populous. And from retailers to hotel chains, people are taking notice. Sure, the island city has the glitz and glamour, and the outer boroughs have their own suburban charm, but Brooklyn is where you can still see the diverse melting pot that New York has always been. So if youre planning a trip to New York, heres three reasons why you should consider a Brooklyn hotel.
1. History. The Cyclone at Coney Island. Prospect Park. The promenade at Brooklyn Heights. Grand Army Plaza. The Brooklyn Bridge. The Navy Yard. Need we go on? From Americas earliest days, Brooklyn and its varied neighborhoods have been a major part of its history, from the revolutionary armys planning at Red Hook to the Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest at Nathans. Want to find the nearest landmark (there are PLENTY in Brooklyn)? The concierge or staff of any hotels in Brooklyn, NY can help.
2. Food. Speaking of food, hot dogs and seafood at Nathans Famous are just the tip of the borough. From Jamaican Beef Patties in Flatbush or Knishes and Latkes in Marine Park to an authentic slice of New York-style pizza in Bensonhurst, your dining options in Brooklyn are as varied as the people who live there. Youre only limited by your imagination. And dont believe what you hear. The best cheesecake in New York City isnt anywhere in Manhattan. Youll find it at Juniors in Downtown Brooklyn.
3. The Pace. Anyone whos been to Manhattan can tell you, there are plenty of times you feel like youre on a carousel thats going just a bit too fast. Brooklyn isnt exactly the country, but its pace is just slow enough to really enjoy your stay. And, from many Brooklyn, New York hotels, the fun and excitement of Manhattan is only a subway ride away.
So, still thinking of staying somewhere else? Fuhgettaboutit.
