{"product_id":"lost-in-brooklyn-9781965941041","title":"Lost in Brooklyn","description":"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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrooklyn 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou'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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrooklyn is messy and mythic. A borough forever under construction--of buildings, identities, dreams. Get lost in its maze of neighborhoods, its alchemy of edge and warmth. Get lost in Brooklyn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStreet walls hijacked as canvases, a bar hidden behind a pizzeria spinning 90s mixtapes, vintage finds under a bridge's archways, concerts in a bowling alley and social rock wall... \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet lost in the borough of cool and contradiction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Five long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their pursuits and life in Brooklyn \u003cbr\u003e* A locals-curated list of the Top 5 places to check out for the best slice, cocktails and more \u003cbr\u003e* A photo showcase by Brooklyn native and award-winning street photographer Jamel Shabazz \u003cbr\u003e* A detailed index for ease of use in planning and organizing trips \u003cbr\u003e* More than 100 pages of recommendations and write ups for dining, dancing, drinking, and day-tripping in the borough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn, Lost:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eLOST iN\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent publisher creating city guides for people who prefer their itineraries low-key and locally inspired.
