Love that Gossip Girl. We love it so much that there’s plenty of shrieking with joy around our house because it is SO bitchy—some of the characters on that show are oh-so-nasty.
But we love the outsiders: Rufus, Dan and Jenny Humphrey, the Brooklyn Family that lives in the big DUMBO loft. They have good values and are so cooooool.
And we love love Vanessa, the home-schooled Brooklyn girl, who wants to be a film major at NYU. She also has a political consciousness—Brooklyn style—and is working to save a Brooklyn bar called the Brooklyn Inn from the wrecking ball.
Landmark status is what she wants for this venerable old pub. So she uses the scandalous picture of Catherine and Marcus to blackmail Blair
(Leighton Meester) into being a nicer person and helping to save the Brooklyn Inn.
Then Blair seeks revenge by
enticing Chuck (Ed Westwick) to seduce Vanessa by pretending to be a good person and using his family’s vast fortune to buy the place.
But something happens. Chuck’s trip to Brooklyn actually changes him. He makes a promise to the Inn’s owner that he wants to keep the bar alive. Things don’t work out that way. But something’s happening to Chuck.
Could it be he has a Brooklyn heart?
and it was actually filmed at the real Brooklyn Inn (on the corner of Bergen and Hoyt) in early September.
