You Discover Brooklyn

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 4, 2011

Last week, NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams jokingly named his top media story of 2010: the The New York Times' discovery of Brooklyn, a mysterious land of ironic spectacles and artisanal cheeses. Now we want to hear your pitches for the best trend story about the borough. Steve Hindy, former journalist and co-founder of the Brooklyn Brewery, and Amy Sohn, author of the satirical novel Prospect Park West, judge your suggestions of Brooklyn trends, real or imagined.

Got a 30 second pitch for a (real or fake) story about BK? Post your Brooklyn trend piece ideas here!
