Brooklyn Architecture

AREA MAP

I was in love with Brooklyn as soon as I stepped off the subway. The architecture was exquisitely detailed and had "room to breathe" on wide, tree-lined suburban streets with sidewalks void of subway grates (which can be quite hot and stinky in the summer). The busier side streets with retail and restaurants weren't cluttered with gaudy signage and people were generally in less of a rush.

When it comes to NYC and the surrounding boroughs, I keep reminding myself to "always look look up" because that is where some of the loveliest architecture hides. My camera simply cannot capture the fantastic details that I can spot so clearly with my eyes.
