Is Brooklyn heights the best and prettiest neighborhood in nyc?

In Brooklyn, probably. But not NYC.

I hated living there with my cousin Patty. London it is not! Imagine, looking like your cousin. It was the worst!

Prettiest? Quite possibly. Best neighborhood in NYC? I wouldn’t say so. Bland vibe, boring energy, filled with the rich and privileged, very white, no interesting restaurants or shopping. But yes, gorgeous houses.

I agree. The whole arear is a disaster. There's a hold up in the Bronx, Brooklyn's broken out in fights. There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights.

I love it. I remember visiting my cousins there in 1973 who lived at Henry and Middagh. I was 13 and loved biking over to the promenade and over the Brooklyn Bridge.

Spectacular views of Manhattan.

When I walk down certain streets in Hell's Kitchen, that's how I feel!

Yeah on a purely aesthetic basis it is a gorgeous neighborhood with great views. No denying that.

It is pretty sterile though.
