The team at Design Sponge recently updated their Brooklyn city guide.  Filled with info about this nation’s fourth most populated city, the 2010 guide follows up on a 2006 edition published by Brooklyn based writer and Design Sponge founder Grace Bonney.  This year’s edition was co-authored by Julie Totten and Sierra Yaun of poppies and posies.

As expected the guide is layered with useful tidbits about neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Park Slope.  One can go a year and not have a dull moment by abiding to the suggestions in this guide.

The only beef–you knew there was a catch–is that Crown Heights is lumped together with Prospect Heights. A minor oversight for some, but sheer blasphemy over here at NP.  We won’t even go into the heretical nature of Franklin Ave being their cut off, and omitting vaunted area institutions like the Brooklyn Children’s Museum and the Jewish Children’s Museum from their listing.

Still, our tongue and cheek critiques aside, the guide is online, it was a labor of love for these three women and one well worth checking out and supporting.
