Leading Off: ' Brooklyn: This Esquire piece by Dave Wondrich is a little bit outside our usual scope, but I think it's the kind of thing DKE readers would appreciate. Wondrich is best known for his writing on cocktails (something also of great importance to us!), but here he turns his keen eye and deft pen to the topic of Brooklyn'or more specifically, the evolution of Brooklyn the place to "Brooklyn" the concept, and the contradictions this metamorphosis has engendered. Wondrich moved to Brooklyn back in 1986, long before the exodus of gentrifiers from Manhattan began to reshape the borough, so he had a front-row seat to watch its transformation. The article can't be summarized beyond that, so I strongly encourage you to click through and catch a glimpse of what Wondrich has seen with his own eyes.
