Feeling like a city in its own right, the vibrant borough of Brooklyn is the most populous and the second largest of the five boroughs that make up New York City. Consolidated with New York City at the end of the 19th century, this borough is unique with many districts and areas that reflect the multi-cultural origins or the city. The luxury hotels Brooklyn provide a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan and the beautifully restored historic houses provide a home away from home atmosphere, something that is often missing in a big city.
While most visitors and tourist to the "Big Apple" as it is affectionately known, generally focus on Manhattan, Brooklyn has an atmosphere all of its own, and is home to many artists, music venues, beaches, and Coney Island. Located at the westernmost point of Long Island, it is partially encircled by Queens, another one of New York's boroughs that is the home of two international airports, the United States Tennis Center, the New York Mets baseball team, as well as Staten Island and the Bronx.
Originally settled by the Dutch in the 1620s, Brooklyn became a symbol for unity among people the world over. Once the iconic Brooklyn Bridge connecting the island with Manhattan was completed in 1883, and transportation by boat was no longer essential, the city grew and prospered to become the vibrant and sought after district that it is today. Also known as the "borough of churches", the city is home to many magnificent houses of worship. The architecture reflects that of the history of New York with plenty of examples of classic brownstones and Italianate mansions as well as brick row-houses and turn-of-the-century limestone.
