Brooklyn, New York – The Epitome of Cool

Out of the 5 boroughs of New York, Brooklyn is by far the most recognized for being out of the box. Brooklyn offers an all-inclusive package to experience the real New York lifestyle with electrifying music festivals, crazy cool art galleries, a cutting-edge foodie scene and a never ending catalog of hip and trendy bars. Often compared to its sophisticated counterpart, Manhattan, Brooklyn is a rebel in terms of identity. Associating old and new, sport and chic, high technology and simplicity, Brooklyn is the hotspot for free-spirited people who believe in no boundaries.

Not to mention, Brooklyn is also home to the most instagrammable spots of New York City. You can walk on the famous Brooklyn Bridge while looking at breath-taking views of the city, pose next to the famous Dumbo, stop and smell the roses at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and discover marine life at the oldest Aquarium in the United States, all within the perimeter of Brooklyn. Most importantly, make sure you stop by an industrial coffee shop to get your dose of caffeine and let your cravings guide you to the funkiest restaurants in your area to live the real Brooklyn experience.
