The apartment where my wonderful hosts live is on a quite and neat residential block in Brooklyn. It is a beautiful red brick building with a tinge of ancient era in it. The neighboring buildings are quite unique from one another; some red and some beige, some with modern look and some with an antique one. And then there are some blocks which have same architectural buildings all across. Beautiful trees planted every where, side by side.

It borders Fort Greene, wherein lies Fort Greene Park. The lovely quaint houses are called Brownstones. Not difficult to guess why. They are very typical to Brooklyn only. Shadows, you are correct in your analysis. This is one of the best neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Funnily Brooklyn changes from block to block. Many other neighborhoods are not so nice. Even Clinton Hill itself has changed beyond recognition in the last 8 years that I have lived here. Sadly the perception of Brooklyn being a place to stay away from is as ignorant as some American wanting to stay away from Bombay because "bombs go off there every so often". And Brooklyn, though being a borough of New York City, is also a city by itself for administrative and government reasons. And in that manner is the second largest city in the US, both in area and population. Clinton Hill has its own neighborhood blog......just started....<a href="http://www.clintonhill.us" rel="nofollow">here</a> The neighborhood in discussion here is Clinton Hill.

So it has to include all kinds of neighbourhoods. And so a Worli has to have a Bykhala just nearby :) or to be more apt, a Mahim/Dharavi just besides Bandra !! I suppose stating where in Brooklyn is more important. I do recall a friend working in Wall Street avoiding Brooklyn. As per that link on Brooklyn that you posted, it seems to be big on the map.
