<p>NOTE: A new, up-to-date, and fab Brooklyn guide by the same author to be published by Rutgers Univ. Press in 2016. This book is out of print. Stay tuned!<br><br>This slender volume was the first commercially published guidebook to Brooklyn in 50 years, since the end of WWII. It documents neighborhoods from Coney to Williamsburg (a shadow of its subsequent self), fun spots, cool ethnic restaurants, historic sites, things to do with kids, shops, festivals,  and more. Written by a husband/wife team who'd moved from Manhattan to Park Slope, Brooklyn in 1984 in search of affordable housing (sound familiar?), they were surprised at how wonderful it was, and how hard it was to find out about various neighborhoods.  Those were the days when Manhattanites were afraid to visit Brooklyn, there was no Internet to provide instant restaurant suggestions, and GPS was in the realm of sci-fi. This book was the first of three Brooklyn guidebooks written by Freudenheim for St. Martin's Press. Over time, they offer snapshots of Brooklyn's resurgence.</p>
