AM New York covers the nabe today:
AMNY: Cobble Hill…: As one of the components of BoCoCa, a name dreamed up by brokers to describe the ritzy patch of wine bars, stylish boutiques and gift shops in northwest Brooklyn, Cobble Hill blends rather seamlessly into neighbors Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill.
As well, the plentiful retail options and packs of yoga-glow moms pushing expensive baby strollers draw inevitable comparisons to that other pretty enclave across the Gowanus Canal, Park Slope.
But Cobble Hill is smaller and more intimate, especially east of Court Street where the noise and fuss gives way to peaceful little streets, gardens with wrought-iron fences and pre-Civil War era townhouses.
“It’s a great place to get lost in,” Frank Baldaro said. “Incredibly romantic surroundings, and the architecture has a sort of Dickensian flavor to it.”
