Casual evening in Brooklyn- under the city lights and over the moon 🌙 😏 I learned quite a bit on my short trip… Brooklyn was originally settled by the Dutch in the early 17th century and was named after the Dutch village of Breukelen. During the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Brooklyn (August 1776) was fought in what is now the borough. Brooklyn was an independent city until 1898 when it merged with New York City, becoming one of its five boroughs. So much to learn everywhere we set foot ✨
