I don't know Brooklyn well at all, but it's the part that's right across the East River from southern Manhattan. I saw the building once, the only time I was in Brooklyn. I had a delivery to Brooklyn once when I was driving truck.
BTW, the tall building with "Gretsch" on it is significant to me because that used to be the Gretsch guitar factory in the old days. Gretsch guitars were made in Brooklyn until perhaps the late 1960's or so. George Harrison played a Gretsch in the Beatles you may recall, built on your home turf. http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif
