Let’s hear it for the little guys. These are the places that embody the best of the American melting pot: independent, hardworking and characterful. This book travels the length and breadth of the great borough of Brooklyn, New York, tallying 99 entries, each one a reflection of the love and commitment of its independent owners. Covering much more than genealogical family; these are small businesses that have thrived over time by working hard for the pride of a job well done, and with the love and patronage of neighbours, friends, and family.
