Hi!, Thank you for welcoming me. Brooklyn has some beautiful scenic places which are also attractive to tourists, families and new settlers to the city. There's Coney Island, Astroland Park, Prospect park & Zoo, Sunset Park, The New York Aquarium, The Botanical Garden, The Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Museum, a vast variety of different eateries of diverse nationalities, The Brooklyn Heights Promenade (from there you get a view of the ever rising New York Skyline). Google it to see some pictures.
But in the real world of Brooklyn, all the urban neighborhoods that used to be considered tough have been cleaned up and filtered (also known as gentrification).
