Brooklyn has become a destination in itself, with tourist buses traveling regular routes through the borough to show off its attractions to visitors from afar. Now the younger visitors can take home their own memento of Brooklyn in this interactive scrapbook. This is a photographic celebration of Brooklyn's most kid-friendly and iconic spots, from the Cyclone at Coney Island to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, as well as an interactive travel scrapbook for visitors (and locals, too) who love the Borough of Kings and all it has to offer.
"The Coney Island Cyclone, water towers, and yarmulkes ("New York City has the largest Jewish population in the world outside Israel") also get their due in a loving homage to and light overview of the wildly diverse borough."
