Lost in Brooklyn

Brooklyn. Once the scrappy sibling in New York’s borough family, it has long since shrugged off any inferiority complex. Now, it’s the global capital of cool—where brownstone stoops double as office desks or where a bodega cat might have more Instagram followers than you.

Brooklyn is a borough of contradictions. Luxury condos cast shadows over anarchist bookstores. Vegan bakeries coexist with 100-year-old pastrami-slinging delis. You’ll find rooftop raves in Gowanus warehouses and backyard poetry readings in Bed-Stuy. Vintage is currency, and authenticity is curated with intent.

But beyond the kaleidoscope of clichés lies some-thing magnetic. LOST iN introduces you to the locals who make the borough tick: the Coney Island native giving food tours from his vintage checkered cab, the Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef who left the line to cook in a Clinton Hill brownstone, the DJ weaving genre-spanning sets laced with sounds from the streets.

You’ll discover where a new generation of car aficionados gather in a forgotten Navy Yard terminal, where to sip from a 13-glass martini fountain with escargot, and how to pick up skating at an intergalactic dream-rink lit like a spaceship landing.

Brooklyn is messy and mythic. A borough forever under construction—of buildings, identities, dreams. Get lost in its maze of neighbourhoods, its alchemy of edge and warmth. Get lost in Brooklyn.
