Living In Brooklyn: A Complete Guide
As an avid traveler, I have seen so many beautiful cities. It’s hard to say which one is exactly my favorite, but when push comes to shove, there’s nothing better than arriving at JFK and immediately getting a slice of pizza from the greatest city in the world, New York City, specifically Brooklyn. There is such a charm that living in Brooklyn offers. Hands down the best place to be and an even better place to have grown up. Although I have not grown up in any other town, it’s pretty apparent that I have so much pride in being a Brooklynite; I mean it’s a huge reason why I created my business to include Brooklyn in it!
Maybe it’s something in the air or the pizza or the water that adds such a significant sense of pride. Anyway, if you have ever considered moving to New York City, Brooklyn is the best place, and even if it’s hard to find an affordable place to live in Brooklyn (understandably so because everyone wants to live here), visiting Brooklyn can give you that sense of perspective on how us Brooklynites are in our natural habitat; I mean, after all, it’s the Brooklyn way.

Living In Brooklyn For Its Authentic Cuisine
Growing up with a family that loved food, I definitely got my fair share of dining out at all of the great places to eat in Brooklyn. We would travel all the way from Mexico to Thailand, and all the way to India and back in the span of one month. Something that I really love about Brooklyn is that there are so many cultures nested in this amazing melting pot. I mean you cannot make up truly how great this food is until you get a bite of your own! I seriously love Thai and pizza so so so much so it was only fair to share my favorite spots to grab them in Brooklyn that are hidden gems if you ask me.
Living In Brooklyn: Can You Beat Being New Yorker?
This one is short and sweet, well I mean because I don’t need to share much on why New Yorkers are the best since it’s pretty much common knowledge. Do you have a friend that’s from the city? Never let them go! They are the best people to surround yourself with. Their loving and adventurous personality makes these creatures a different breed. I even took the liberty to find this website below proving it even more!
So There You Have It
Despite visiting some pretty cool cities and countries in the past, you know why I am never leaving Brooklyn. What are your thoughts? Would you consider living in Brooklyn, one of the greatest cities in the world?
If you are looking to move to Brooklyn I would highly recommend living in either Williamsburg or Bay Ridge. Williamsburg is certainly more trendy and there are a lot more “trending, hip” spots to explore. Given that it is closer to the city, it’s expected that it is more expensive than Bay Ridge. Bay Ridge on the other hand is another great location to live in. It’s like a hidden gem in that not many people know about it, it’s super residential which adds to its authenticity. There are also a ton of great spots only a ten to twenty-minute train ride away in the surrounding neighborhoods. A downside to this is that Bay Ridge is significantly further from the city as there is only one train to get anywhere, the R line, which is notorious for being slow and at times unreliable.
If you are looking for apartments, I highly recommend using StreetEasy so get inspired, look at some listings, and become a Brooklynite!
