With photographs by Seth Kushner and essays by Antony LaSala, The Brooklynites is a nice coffee table book about Brooklyn residents famous and unknown.

Kushner and LaSala, both born and bred Brooklynites, have created a portrait of the borough that they love, featuring Paul Auser, Spike Lee, Steve Buscemi, Rosie Perez, Sufjan Stevens, John Turturro, Casey Spooner, Steve Schirripa, Matisyahu, and Jonathan Lethem and regular folks too.
 

They also visited the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden,
Peter Luger’s Steakhouse, the Coney Island Aquarium, Brooklyn College,
the Prospect Park Zoo, Totonno’s Pizzeria, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the
Coney Island Freak Show, or the Brooklyn Museum.

Looks like fun.
