Bklink: Carroll Gardens is Like a New West Village

"So Carroll Gardens is quaint, and for those in love with the West Village but who simply can't afford to live there, it will do. The tree-lined streets with well-kept brownstones, little cafes and restaurants, and independent boutiques are all that's required of a charming neighborhood. As rents rise, it's only bound to grow nicer (better hop on the G train before it's too late)."--Gridskipper
