The Guide that Shows You Around All of BrooklynThe new second edition of the popular book Walking Brooklyn: 30 Tours Exploring Historical Legacies, Neighborhood Culture, Side Streets, and Waterways provides a unique guide to Brooklyn's diverse communities, notable sights, and ever-evolving streetscape. Author Adrienne Onofri has crafted 30 exceptional tours showcasing the borough's history, architecture, parks, arts venues, college campuses, places made famous by pop culture, and more.
Each chapter of Walking Brooklyn features a DIY tour route, with step-by-step directions, an area map, photographs, and public transportation information. Every tour tells the story of a neighborhood's past, present, and future, shedding light on its buildings and landmarks, community life, ethnic heritage, cultural and retail scene, and role in Brooklyn's renaissance. Readers will discover revitalized districts and state-of-the-art new developments; stroll along the river, bay, or ocean; visit galleries, performance spaces, and artists' workshops; and see residences ranging from the iconic brownstones to Victorian houses to contemporary high-rises.
This fully revised and updated book now comes in color and includes places that were opened or revived since the first edition was published in 2007, such as the Kings Theatre, Barclays Center, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Prospect Park's LeFrak Center at Lakeside, City Point, Brooklyn Bridge Park, East River State Park, and Industry City. New routes have been created in neighborhoods that have undergone significant changes, like Downtown, Dumbo, Gowanus, Red Hook, Coney Island, and Bushwick.
Walking Brooklyn is the most comprehensive guidebook available to Brooklyn, covering nearly 40 neighborhoods--from those close to Manhattan (like Brooklyn Heights and Williamsburg) through Park Slope, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, and the rest of the brownstone belt and out to the neighborhoods east of Prospect Park as well as the traditional communities of southern Brooklyn such as Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, and Gerritsen Beach. Entire walks are devoted to Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery, while many other green spaces are featured on neighborhood tours. Brooklyn's waterfront is also well-represented, including on a walk that crosses both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
Walking Brooklyn is the only book you need if you want to explore--or reminisce about--this historic, dynamic place that everybody's talking about

Compact, incredibly absorbent, and a travel essential.
Color: Gray, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
The Rainleaf microfiber towel has been a fantastic addition to my gear. It’s remarkably compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for tossing into a gym bag or packing for trips without taking up unnecessary space. Despite its size, it’s surprisingly super absorbent and dries much faster than a standard cotton towel, which is a huge plus when you're on the move. It’s well-made, feels durable, and is definitely a must-have for anyone who travels, camps, or hits the gym regularly.

Great Travel Towel !!
Color: Mint Color, Size: 72.00" x 40.00"
I travel for work. The last few years I've noticed the quality of hotel towels has gone downhill. I suspect that they are not replacing them as often to save money. So not only are hotel towels too small, they are thread bare, thin and scratchy. So I thought about bringing my own towel, but, it's not practical as they are heavy and bulky to pack, and they take a long time to dry. This Rainleaf Microfiber towel is the answer to my prayers. I bought the big one, 70 X 40. I tested it at home. It is kinda strange to dry off with it because it's different. Not bad, just different. It smooth but not soft and fuzzy like a cotton towel. BUT, it dries amazingly well. It doesn't even get that wet. It's more like patting dry then rubbing you dry, it you know what I mean. Once you get used to it, it works great. Even though is it huge at 70" X 40", it weighs less than 1 pound. Super small and great for packing. Corner pocket would be good at the beach for keeping valuables out of sight. It's my new go-to hotel towel. I may even bring it on my cruise !

Dries quickly and very portable
Color: Violet, Size: 72.00" x 40.00"
Dries you off quickly, is light weight, and very portable. I bought this to use for the gym, where we’ve been having to shower (instead of at home) as our water heater has gone out. Until we get it replaced we’ve been having to use the shower at the gym after our workout. I wanted a towel that would also be good for taking to the pool when I lap swim. This fits the bill. It dried me super quickly (less than 1 min I was fully dry). It didn’t weigh the towel down either. I got the extra large one, and I am 5’6” and it was plenty big to wrap around me while I was walking around to get dressed. It’s super easy to tie using the corners and it will stay put on you. I really like this. I will likely buy a few more in smaller sizes to use for hair, kids, pets, etc. it’s really good for the gym, showering on the go, and the pool so you can dry faster. I plan on using the smaller ones also for taking on a run in the hot Florida summer to keep the sweat from dripping. It doesn’t seem to have an odor, and time will tell if the towel’s silver ion feature works well, but this was worth the price in my mind.

Very compact, yet absorbent
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
This is a unique kind of towel that has very little volume and rolls up to a tiny size. It would be great for a camping trip, or any situation where size is important. It's also surprisingly absorbent, considering how thin it is. I use it for toweling off after taking a shower at the gym. I should also mention that it dries very quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is kind of "sticky" when you're running it across your body. That takes some getting used to.

Great quality, and great performance!
Color: Purple, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
Got this to take on a camping road trip where we camped at three different locations all around Arizona. Needed something that would dry quick, but also be absorbent to dry me off, and this exceeded my expectations. It’s a really nice brushed, cotton kind of feel, but dries quickly. Next time I will order a larger size though. I’ve had this one for a couple years.
