Both these areas are filled with boutiques and resale shops. Both of these areas are also filled with rich people, young people, and bumish people. So, both of these areas can reflect back to my blog.
Because my brother lived on the Lower East Side for most of the times I visited, I became very acquainted with the streets and the shops. I knew where my favorites where and I knew directly how to get there. I also knew how to get to soho like it was the back of my hand. On the way I would stop in store after store, many because I wanted to see what that had to offer, but also because I was alone while he was at work. During this process, I found one of my favorite stores ever. It is called a second chance, designer. This store is filled with bags of all of the top designers, it is kind of like a museum to me. However the designers might have drawn me in, it is the vintage that kept me in. The bags are all vintage and to me are the coolest things. here is a link to their website. If you are ever in New York, love handbags, and are anything like me check it out.

But Brooklyn, the name of this blog. Many I titled it Brooklyn, Brooklyn Take Me In because well I love that song (by the Avvett Brothers), but also because I am new to Brooklyn. The most recent trip I made was the first time I ever explored Brooklyn. To me it is a mix of the Lower East Side and Chicago, with maybe a little more hipster presence. There are stores on stores on restaurants on restaurants, but also the most neighborhoody feel I have ever gotten in New York.
I do not know Brooklyn like I do the Lower East Side, so I hope that Brooklyn takes me just like the Lower East Side did.
One thing I did do in Brooklyn was go to the Flea Market. The Flea Market was filled with thrift, vintage, and antiques. It also has local food venders and restaurants, and is a super cool thing to do. I can not wait to go back to Brooklyn and explore its vintage and thrift shops further.
