A thank you to our readers
Brooklyn Magazine is taking a few days off to reflect and express gratitude. In the meantime, here are our most-read stories of 2021
We here at Brooklyn Magazine headquarters are taking a few days off to reflect, express gratitude and ingest coma-triggering levels of tryptophan.
In the meantime, we want to thank you, our readers, without whom we might exist but … who would know? In a little more than a week from now, on December 8, Brooklyn Magazine will mark the one-year anniversary of relaunching under new ownership, with a fresh look and new voice, and a revamped mission. Plus a podcast! (Subscribe here or wherever you cast your pods.)
Thank you for reading; thank you for subscribing; thank you for sticking around.
Below are the 10 most-read stories over the past year, a list that both validates our mission and also tells us a little something about you (we were tempted to remove the billboard story from this list, because it says more about search patterns than it does about our content, but that would have been denying the fact that the internet is horny).
These stories run the gamut from service-y fare to original reporting to our ambitious “50 Most Fascinating” project, which we aim to reprise in the spring. Over the course of the past year, we slowly began easing out of a pandemic, were hit with the Delta variant, got accustomed to dining outdoors, relished community where we could and began the long process of dealing with our collective trauma. We also brought back print!
We’ll return with our regular newsletter programming next week. In the meantime here’s our 2021 top 10 (so far):
