This alternative guidebook is a personal ode to the mélange of cultures called Brooklyn. It takes you to the most fascinating corners of the borough, and will help you discover places most tourists won’t go. The aim is to inspire you to start exploring Brooklyn’s neighborhoods, which all have a strong sense of local identity.

Born and raised in Belgium, author Katelijne De Backer left for New York City in 1997, to pursue a career in the contemporary art world. She moved to Brooklyn Heights in 2002 and was immediately smitten with her new neighborhood.
