passing on the bridge with the subway I thought Tony Manero who dreamed of passing the bridge in the opposite direction to live in Manhattan.
Today the opposite happens.
It is said that the redemption of Brooklyn is about Spike Lee, who not only used this area as a location for his films, but years ago he decided to give her confidence putting here established his own production company.
Since then, appears to have started the rebirth of this area which until then had only registered of all those who could not live beyond the bridge. Today is one of those who do not want to live more in Manhattan.
families live there in search of peace, r & b stars, artists, filmmakers and musicians.
They say that despite the impression this "cultural" but this island's largest, is still missing. Deny the inhabitants of Brooklyn and open contemporary art galleries, libraries, places for cultural events and exhibitions retrained.
fact is that house prices are rising markedly, and the real estate recovery are multiplying. who lived there from before their noses ... Brooklyn is still beautiful.
From what we could see with a day, of course.
But it seems to have really as a bit all over the rest of the district. Obviously
areas as Dumbo (nothing to do with the elephant, is an acronym), are spectacular.
recovered industrial loft spaces, green areas ever built, small and large libraries and especially art galleries.
and children, many of them.
And on deck and breathtaking views of Manhattan.
and great restaurants, cafes and ice cream.
In return we could not avoid making the bridge on foot. We did well because it is truly impressive and we could not have been in NY without having done the bridge, right?
set foot on the opposite bank we discovered that we had snubbed Tribeca in the past days. Instead, a revelation.
must have been dark, has been looking a little cheering there was in the area (due to a marathon of city employees), but Tribeca is truly beautiful.
The thing we liked most is the contrast between old architecture, the turn of the century, when New York was preparing to become what it is today, economically and architecturally, and the new towering, shiny and technologically advanced. The loft
obtained from old warehouses (with arched windows, such as Ghost, you know?) And back to overpower but not stifle, the skyscrapers of glass and steel.
It seems that very vital part of the air that we perceived, but in fact they say there really is the rebirth of the neighborhood after September 11.
say that before that date the district was dedicated to the affairs and daily life of wealthy families, some celebrities, some rooted in the place and businessmen.
falling of the towers, the real estate market in the area affected, cease to renovate / build / sell, the district remains still licking their wounds for a while.
come families attracted by the big houses and rents falling.
And the area is reborn.
And in fact we saw so many children would not believe. Wherever
activities for children.
a library / game room huge, entertainers playing football with children in a park, entertainment / game room and spaces for some way higher, with the usual fountains, parks, concerts for kids (and of which the nano has fully enjoyed jumping and dancing like a madman, with a few hundred crazy like him), several mothers of the children to color matching even accompanied by several fathers, a enormissimo supermarket with at least 80% Organic (!!!!) at lower prices in other areas of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens (for I store food prices are terrible!) and in fact I have spent here.
I bought the oatmeal Oatmeal or better that we really like the Maccaroni and Cheese in a very good brand for children, the same to put the bunnies milk ... so here I found the price of 2 to 4.
suggests that households buy.
We also found a restaurant recommended for families.
Highchairs, special menus for children, good things for the great, friendly and attentive waiters (a real rarity in NY), faster and at a fair price for Tribeca.
And speaking of Ghost I mentioned before, I'd swear that he had dinner in front of the loft of Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, but you know not?
I find it hard to leave the movie link in this city!
At the end of the evening, walk to digest the excellent and abundant dinner (but can be good as a real burger, served with sweet potato fries , Hot corn bread and salted butter?), The dwarf could also caress Cavalla Frida. She was beautiful, shiny, especially a horse cop!
We passed the stalls of the worker and police horses, a big man, tall and big, Frida took from us that we had stopped to look at the stables.
greeted us by saying: "bbuonappettittooo" when she realized that we were Italians.
