Brooklynite
NYC borough dweller
A Brooklynite is a person from Brooklyn, the most populous borough of New York City.
The term carries connotations of urban grit, cultural diversity, and neighborhood pride: As a lifelong Brooklynite, she knew every shortcut through Bed-Stuy.
The identity has gained cachet as Brooklyn's reputation for arts, food, and gentrification has grown.
