I bought the domain name BrooklynsLifestyle dot com in 2006. I wanted to create a space about real estate. After all, I could only think of writing about fashion or real estate. However, as I started working on my vision for Brooklyn’s Lifestyle, I realized that I could not write just about Real Estate. Because writing about Real Estate would not give my readers (i.e., my family) an authentic experience of Brooklyn, I wanted to share my love for all things Brooklyn. So here I am; welcome to Brooklyn’s Lifestyle.

It has been a long process to publish anything. Because I was afraid, and Brooklyn is just so freaking amazing. Negativity began to haunt me; no one would read your blog, and you do not write well. What do you have to say? There are so many people blogging about Brooklyn already. And the list continued for a while. 

I then realized I could not possibly share some things about Brooklyn. So instead, I wanted to share everything I loved about our beloved borough.

 In 2010 I finally mustered enough courage to publish my first post. I posted well into the Summer of 2012. During that period, my family was my only readers. I felt uncomfortable promoting the site, so I did not tell many people. And then, in December of 2012, it was a sad day for me when I decided to shut down the site. In the months after, I wanted to share the place I called home. But I needed to bring the right vision to life and confidently share My Brooklyn with you. So here I am now where I should be, honestly and proudly sharing my stories about Brooklyn with you.

Welcome you, and I hope you often visit and share your Brooklyn with me.

XXOO

Cheers

NAT

I have been in love with New York City for over three decades. I enjoy living a hyper-local Lifestyle and have such deep love for the Rich History of this City I call home. Uncovering the vibrant culture, hidden gems, and diverse communities that define Brooklyn and its surrounding Boroughs brings me much joy. And that is why I curate authentic experiences and insider recommendations, sharing valuable insights to help locals and visitors explore the heart and soul of New York City.
