The summer 2023 issue of Brooklyn Magazine is out now

By Brian Braiker

The summer 2023 issue of Brooklyn Magazine is out now and it’s a stunner. With this issue we are proud to present our third annual “Brooklyn’s 50 Most Fascinating People” list. Maybe you’re on it?

Every year, we pay tribute to the most captivating people in the borough right now, across multiple disciplines. These folks are the main characters of our communities, the avatars of the zeitgeist. They are also the compelling extras, the scene-stealers, the freaks and the geeks. You’ll find some folks in these pages whom you may already know. And there are others you didn’t know you needed to know. (And if you don’t know, well, now you know.)

Here’s what else you can find in its pages (that’s right, pages!):

• Our 2023 Summer Entertainment Guide
• 11 dishes to eat in Brooklyn this summer
• A profile of Deborah Kass, the artist behind the OY/YO sculpture
• Our favorite cold noodle spots for beating the heat
• The street style photography of Johnny Cirillo
• Your Moment of Venn

The issue’s cover is a gorgeous illustration by local artist Bryce Wymer. Take a close look at it. And the issue itself was designed as always by the ultra-talented team at Group SJR.

Find the summer 2023 issue of Brooklyn Magazine in coffee shops, small retail businesses, record stores and more throughout the borough.
