Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”
um, Vinegar Hill House is NOT in DUMBO. it's in Vinegar Hill. For a publication that has their offices in DUMBO, I would expect this to be more accurate.

What about BK Heights? Yea, most places are TERRIBLE, but there has been some progress worth noting the past couple years....Colonie? Jack the Horse? No love?
Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”
Cochinita is definitely a close 2nd in Clinton Hill. Totally different categories though.
Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”
yeah, three short blocks and flushing ave ... no one, including residents, thought of that as bushwick until they built their little "arts strip" and decided it would sound cooler if they told their friends it was bushwick (edgy!)
and seriously, no love for bed stuy?

Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”
Seriously.. ENOUGH with Franny's! It's not even good!
Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”
Technically, Roberta's is three short blocks from the northern boundary of Bushwick, but the boundary is a matter of convention -- it's unofficial -- and everyone, including residents, think of the Bogart Street arts strip, which Roberta's is on, as part of Bushwick.
Re: “15 Brooklyn Neighborhoods and The Very Best Restaurant in Each”

Re: “Ranking the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn”
Given all the cranky comments here, I marvel that anyone bothers to write anything at all anymore! Yeah, it's totally a hipster point of view (I live in the decidedly non-hip world of bay ridge, which i adore from the center of my soul) and it could benefit from a little more diversity awareness (fyi - I live in the non-hip bay ridge with my beautiful Jamaican husband and our son - one of probably two multi-racial families out here), but I thought it was a FUN read! Chill out, people, and contribute to the conversation by writing your own articles ~ unless you're afraid of the haters, of course. :-)
Re: “Ranking the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn”
I've noticed this magazine only really covers the 'cool' parts of Brooklyn, but I'm sorry - being born and raised in Coney Island, you are missing out on entire neighborhoods filled with real diversity and culture.

Re: “Ranking the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn”
@Brooklyn Black Girl
I was bout to say the same thing. I'd probably add "the 13 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Brooklyn for white hipsters or gentrifiers", which the editors of this list are -- white and/or hipsters and/or gentrifiers and or trustfunders...
And as wmsgreggs1431 said, not compiled by Brooklyn natives, or New York City natives at all...

Solid anecdote about your friend from the Soviet Union.
