Date night — Brooklyn
Date night in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn dates run slower and closer to the ground — natural wine, a record shop, a waterfront with the Manhattan skyline doing the work for you. Williamsburg and DUMBO get the postcard; the quieter blocks of Cobble Hill and Fort Greene get the second date.
