New York City Home of Legends - Brooklyn Unisex Hoodie (black)

New York City Home of Legends - Brooklyn Unisex Hoodie (black):

At its core, Brooklyn has always been a living thriving embodiment of the American experience, and it is therefore fitting that the legendary borough is referenced as one of the twin cities in “The New Colossus” a poem by Emma Lazarus, which was dedicated to The Statue of Liberty and is mounted on the pedestal of the statue.

Brooklyn’s proximity to Ellis Island made it a natural magnate to immigrants entering the United States, a possible factor why the borough has been ranked among the largest cities in the country for generations, a trajectory that had been well underway as far back as the early part of the 19th century.

Still, beyond the number and breadth of its population, Brooklyn is the spirit of its people. It is the syncopated strains of Caribbean rhythms, lazy backyard barbeques and picnics in Prospect Park. It is spices from the Middle East and the taste of Babka from Eastern Europe.

Brooklyn is both "Saturday Night Fever" and "Do the Right Thing". It is The Beastie Boys as well as Biggie Smalls and Jay-Z, the Coney Island Boardwalk and "The  Honeymooners". Brooklyn is the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Brooklyn Nets. It is culture cured and seasoned, and the spirit of Caribbean carnival that has now found a traditional home in Brooklyn.

This garment is dedicated to Brooklyn and Brooklynites everywhere. It is soft and lightweight, and flattering to all.
