On this July 4th, 250th anniversary of American Independence, I'm going to focus on one place -- Brooklyn.
I recently spent a week there and, if you want to understand the greatness of America, you can find it in the history, food, and streets of this mighty borough that once upon was its very own city. For example ...
... if you go there you can eat at amazing restaurants like Wheated.
... if you walk the streets you can see funny bumper stickers like:
... at night you find people watching the World Cup on the streets and join them!
... and you can get stunning views of the city when you take the train into Manhattan, a reminder that we are huge city of islands, a city on water, a city that contains multitudes.
Happy birthday America, and America wouldn't be a great as it is without Brooklyn!
