The New Brooklyn
Featured in The New York Times Book Review Only a few decades ago, the Brooklyn stereotype well known to Americans was typified by television programs such as "The Honeymooners" and "Welcome Back, Kotter"-comedies about working-class sensibilities, deprivation, and struggles. "Tres Brooklyn," has become a compliment among gourmands in Parisian restaurants. Today, the borough across the East River from Manhattan is home to trendsetters, celebrities, and enough "1 percenters" to draw the Occupy Wall Street protests across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Devoting separate chapters to Park Slope, Williamsburg, Bed Stuy and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Hymowitz identifies the government policies and young, educated white and black middle class enclaves responsible for creating thousands of new businesses, In The New Brooklyn, Kay Hymowitz chronicles the dramatic transformation of the once crumbling borough.
