If Brooklyn were still an independent city – as it was until 1898 – it would be the fifth largest city in America. A tour might visit Williamsburg, the new home of avant garde artists, Brighton Beach, which Russian immigrants have re-made as “Odessa-by-the-Bay,” Coney Island, the working people’s Riveria, Flatbush, with its handsome Victorian houses, historic Green Wood Cemetery, The Brooklyn Museum of Art and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, both world-class institutions, and Brooklyn Heights, with its rows of 1840’s townhouses and spectacular views across the Harbor.
