Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City - 6,000 miles in all - to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Now he has re-walked Brooklyn - some 816 miles - to write this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the citys hottest borough. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journeys, The Brooklyn Nobody Knows captures the heart and soul of a diverse, booming, and constantly changing borough that defines cool around the world. The guide covers every one of Brooklyns forty-four neighborhoods, from Greenpoint to Coney Island, providing a colorful portrait of each sections most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and things
