    "I have been here for almost two years now and love how family oriented it is. The buildings have so much old Brooklyn charm without looking like expensive Brooklyn Heights. I am an adventurous eater and will try all the new food trends and that doesn’t really happen here. For exotic fusion food, I have to go to Williamsburg or lower Manhattan for it. "
