3) Fort Greene
This neighborhood was the third most frequently mentioned in 2012, and the reasons for its popularity are interesting for their diversity. Yes, a lot of the stories were about real estate or things like “staple gun decorating,” but there was also an abundance of human interest stories, like the ones on Brooklyn’s very own Olympian, Lia Neal and Robert Lasner and his 10-year-old independent publishing house, Ig Publishing. Since 1981, Fort Greene’s mention in the Times rose by over 1000%, from 18 mentions to 311. Well done, Fort Greene. You’re clearly moving up in the world.
