Added info on neighborhoods.
Brooklyn is composed of a number of "neighborhoods", many of which have acheived a degree of fame on their own, such as Greenpoint, Flatbush, Coney Island, Williamsburg, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Brooklyn has been the birthplace of many famous Americans, such as actresses Barbara Stanwyck and [[Clara Bow]], directors Woody Allen and Spike Lee, and singer Barbara Streisand, to name just a few.

==The Borough of Neighborhoods==
Brooklyn is sometimes known as "the borough of neighborhoods" because of its many well-defined and culturally independent neighborhoods. It would be difficult to list every single neighborhood here because there are so many of them, but some of the most notable and famous are:
*DUMBO (acronym for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass")
*Downtown Brooklyn (New York City's third most significant financial center after Midtown [[Manhattan]] and Manhattan's Financial District)
*Brooklyn Heights
*Williamsburg (a well-known community popular with artists and bohemians)
*[[Bedford-Stuyvesant]] (pronounced STY-vess-ent, birthplace of many celebrities)
*Brighton Beach
*Coney Island
