This second edition of the 1991 guide Brooklyn: Where To Go, What To Do, How To Get There (St. Martin's) provides thoroughly annotated descriptions of attractions, shopping, and especially restaurants in New York's "most interesting, most human-scaled borough." Organized by neighborhood, it also catalogs events, "Best Bets," and children's "Best Bets." The restaurant listings, while more enthusiastic than critical, do reveal the enormous range of ethnic food in Brooklyn, from Cambodian to Mexican to Turkish. The book has depth: a mini-essay on the "Russian Night Club Experience," another on the emerging artists' community in Williamsburg, a list of basement stores run by stay-at-home Orthodox Jewish women in Borough Park, and mention of a church whose choir won a 1996 Grammy Award for gospel. While this is a tremendous resource, it is geared more to locals and frequent visitorsAthe author doesn't lay out, for example, a one-day tour for neophytes (though tour companies are listed). For collections where interest in New York City is strong.ANorman Oder, "Library Journal"
