Brooklyn is known for lots of things. But currently, it's most known for a certain politician who's under fire for inappropriately tweeting with young women and then lying about it even after he was caught. Part of his district is in Brooklyn.
On a positive note, we are home to Nathan's, who hosts the annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest on Coney Island. I would never go when it's that crowded, but if you ever get the chance, Nathan's really does make fabulous hot dogs.
O, my goodness! I just typed this and did not realize the complete irony of writing these two things on the same post until I read it over, looking for typos. Seriously. :oops:

Annapolis is known for the Naval Academy! All sorts of boaters live here and it's got a thriving marine heritage. I'm not personally into that sort of thing, but it's awesome to see Middies walking around everywhere!

Lousy weather in winter, but great hot dogs :-) We have white hots here!
