How about someone looking at a map? Carroll Gardens is South Brooklyn only to a few younger, newer inhabitants of the borough. As in, south of williamsburg? Sorry, but it just isn't so.

According to wikipedia

South Brooklyn is a composite neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, encompassing areas of Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Red Hook, Gowanus, and Boerum Hill. Thus it forms the western half of the territory of Brooklyn Community Board 6. The portion of the IND Culver Line that runs along Smith Street in South Brooklyn was originally known as the South Brooklyn Line. The New York City Police Department's 76th Precinct on Union Street serves South Brooklyn.

It is named for its location, south of the original City of Brooklyn. It became the southern part of the City in the middle 19th century, and is northwest of the center of the modern borough. This somewhat historic name has been revived in recent years to foster a closer connection among the constituent communities, though the name has always been popular nomenclature for the neighborhood's locals. Since the early 50's, some kids growing up in the areas that make up South Brooklyn have affiliated under the name South Brooklyn Boys.[1]

The area is not to be confused with the actual southern region of the modern borough of Brooklyn, usually called "southern Brooklyn" or "the southern tier", which spans the neighborhoods of Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island, for example

Sorry my cantankerous chum! You are mistaken.

The transition from a rustic village to a 2Oth century community had begun in Bay Ridge. The new population was not content to live in houses without running water or burning kerosene lamps at night. They demanded water, gas, sewers, paved roads and rapid transit.

Progress towards developing these improvements accelerated in 1894, when the town of Nieuw Utrecht was annexed to the City of Brooklyn, and again in 1898, when Brooklyn was annexed to New York.

So basically Bay Ridge was swallowed by Brooklyn.

Bay Ridge, you embarass me, as we share our neighborhood.

South Brooklyn Pizza is the BOMB. If you think anything else, you're simply mistaken.

"[M]y cantankerous chum"! What more does a guy have to say to spark a good old fashion Hipster v. Cranky Olde Timer comments brawl?

Wdegraw, you have me all figured out.

Aaron said:

Very disappointing.

Who cares if he imported an antique pizza oven from Naples if he doesn't know what to do with it?

The pizza was late and when it did arrive it was charred to a crisp.

Craig said:
