Know Brooklyn

Bushwick
Juxtaposition par excellence: Brooklyn’s ungentrified artist enclave of Bushwick may look tame at first sight, but simply peer through the frame of an augmented-reality-ready smartphone to watch the neighborhood come alive with virtual unicorns, a giant labyrinth, psychedelic swirls, floating picture frames, iconic portraits, and bats. Following close on the heels of the “uninvited” augmented-reality art show strategically positioned via GPS coordinates within the physical walls of the Museum of Modern Art, the Bushwick Augmented Reality Intervention is another permanent and ongoing exhibition of 2D and 3D-modeled artworks, this time positioned at various outdoor venues. Take the L subway line to Morgan Avenue to begin your journey in this augmented version of bats in the belfry. http://www.trazzler.com/users/tuatara
Fort Greene
Located at One Hanson Place, this historic clock tower bank was once known as the tallest building in Brooklyn.  The tower has been transformed​d into high end condos. See the historical architecture of the bank on a visit to the Brooklyn Flea, which moves inside the clock tower during the winter months.

Marine Park

Greenpoint
Greenpoint is a family-friendly, largely Polish neighborhood. Inaccessibility has slowed the development of Greenpoint with only one train in and out.  Local issues include revitalization of the waterfront, and clean up and protection of local waterways such as Newton Creek.  
Park Slope

The area boasts a large environmental activist community and is considered the “Recycling Capital” of New York City. The neighborhood also has the second highest GLBT population in the city.

Bay Ridge
The commercial districts, such as 3rd Avenue, 5th Avenue, and 86th Street, have been revitalized and maintained by active merchants associations and Business Improvement District efforts.  Many restaurants are located on 3rd Ave, and the area is known for some of the best Italian food in the City.  South Bay Ridge is traditionally known as "Italian Bay Ridge.”  The famous Sbarro restaurant chain was also started in the neighborhood as an Italian grocery store.
Sheepshead Bay
Sheepshead Bay has experienced a revival in recent years, starting in 1995 with the reopening of historical restaurant Lundy’s.  New immigrants to the area - Asians, Russians, Turks, Pakistanis, Indians, and Middle Easterners - are adding new life to the commercial districts.  New cafes, restaurants, and shopping centers are popping up in the neighborhood.  There are also many new housing developments in the area and housing prices are increasing.
