The old-new-Brooklyn

Brooklyn was always known as the home of the Mafia and Junior's Cheesecake, but now, it seems like Brooklyn is the new adopted home of everything hot in NYC. First, Brooklyn was hit with heavy gentrification, then it followed with Target opening a store in Downtown. Now, all companies are following suit. Following the success of Ihop's eatery in Brooklyn, you can expect three more locations to open in Bed-Stuy, East New York, and Williamsburg.

It's not going to stop there either. We already know the Nets are apparently moving to Brooklyn. Ikea's opening up it's biggest store in Redhook, and Target is opening yet ANOTHER store just blocks from its current location. On top of that Amy Ruth's and Morton's Steakhouse are planning moves to this great city, but the one that has every one drooling is Apple, who is planning a major move to Williamsburg. Now...what was it that they were saying about this recession? [Source]
