About Brooklyn

Brooklyn is the most populous borough in New York City and one of the most culturally vibrant places on earth. From the waterfront parks of DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights to the creative energy of Williamsburg, the historic brownstones of Park Slope, and the Caribbean culture of Flatbush — Brooklyn is a world unto itself.

For X-CURSIONS IN MOTION, Brooklyn is our summer home base. Brooklyn Bridge Park hosts our BBQ Brooklyn Cookout at Pier 5 and the Latin Vibes Sunset Series at Pier 6. DUMBO's Time Out Market is where we eat. And the Brooklyn Bridge itself is the most iconic walk in the city.
