Grazie Sophia Christie—like her unstylish prose—is so obviously allergic to glamor that she equates “fabulousness” with using coasters + writing thank-you notes to her mother-in-law. Not very feminine imo. Couldn’t be me!

Brooklyn isn’t the biggest borough in the city, but it has the most people. Consequently, there are a lot of great places to eat, and that’s exactly why the birthplace of Busta Rhymes deserves its own Hit List. These are our favorite new spots in the city’s most populous borough.
