Dan vs Blair - Brooklyn vs Manhattan


Upper east side

culture: Metropolitan museum, Frick Collection, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum of American Art. It's hard to compete with the Upper East Side's “museum mile”.



houses:

private schools: dalton school

food: Lollipop , Elaine’s, Mr. Chow’s

shopping: Cecile and Jeanne, Chuckies, Stubbs and Wootton, Luca Luca, Cantaloup

celebrities: Brooke Shields, Bill Murray, Robert Redford, Michael J. Fox, Barbara Walters (I don't really care for her but she is totally Upper East Side)

nightclub/bars: session73, Ryan's Daughter, cafe carlyle, Bar Coastal

and well...that's where they shoot Gossip Girl most of the time

Brooklyn

Culture: Brooklyn Museum of Art, music venues.

houses: Brooklyn Heights It' s a combination of Manhattan’s Upper Westside and the Village.




private schools: the packer collegiate institute

food: Applewood, 360, iCi, Franny's. Bkcookie (for cookies)

shopping: Brooklyn Pubic couture (vintage), noisette (hipster, french, euro-chic), Hooti Couture, Junk, Zoe.

celebrities: Michelle Williams, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, and Keri Russell

best coffee shop: Vox Pop, Tea Lounge, Fall Cafe, Tillie's

nightclub/bar: Magnetic field, The box, Hugs, BLVD, The Annex

Brooklyn seems top have nicer bars and places to hang out.and it's quieter. It used to be dangerous but now it looks so quiet. Celebrities live there and I guess it helped as well.

When it comes to shopping, it depends what you like vintage/hipster/chic or peppy/French/chic
