Big up to Brooklyn

I am pretty sure that, if all five boroughs were lined up in a race to determine who makes the most--and best--artsy-type creations about its particular neck of the NYC woods, Brooklyn would cross the finish line way before the other guys, grab its gold medal, tweak it in some crafty new way, and then rock it like a champ at the after-party in Bushwick (mostly to make Manhattan jealous).

i was all up in the poster until i realized that they left out the neighborhood of my origin. dang, i know it's not the most cultural (or most culturally INoffensive), but we bensonhurst beauties know a thing or two about italian bread, pastries and the tony manero "strut". no sleep till 18th avenue baby!
