It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space.

In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart. « less

Paid $ 200,- per room and night; only bathroom and fan was ok; bed made a lot of noise. After three nights we moved with some fleas (very annoying when you travel) to a much better and cheaper Hotel...more

The service was decent, thats the only good thing i can say. I started my meal with a caesar salad. The dressing was weak, and lacking flavor all around. My main course was shrimp scampi. You would...more

“Good choice but not for everyone”

Hotel Le Bleu

The early one-star reviews are ridiculous, but there are caveats here. This place will be a good choice for flexible travelers who want a no-frills, money-saving hotel in a neighborhood of real people...more
