Brooklyn Looks Good in Blue

I just came across a story in the New York Daily News that said Brooklyn was included in something called the "Blue List," an annual list of the top destination spots by travelguide publisher Lonely Planet.

This is the first time the borough has made the "To Go" section of Lonely Planet's Blue List, a collection of travel ideas submitted by readers and staffers. Other Brooklyn recommendations range from the well-known - the hot dog-eating contest in Coney Island - to insider favorites like a Slope bed-and-breakfast or dinner at the Carroll Gardens Mexican restaurant Alma.

(For more on Alma, refer to my earlier post with the lovely cartoon shrimp image.)
