Brittney • 3+ years in Brooklyn
April 3, 2025Love living in Brooklyn. I used to live in Manhattan and that was way to expensive. Moved out to Prospect park area and love it. Easy train ride into Manhattan, and all the stuff I need is in the area. I'd love having a great steak restaurant nearby, but I guess beggars cant be choosers. lol
