Who Renamed East New York to "East Brooklyn" (Newark: rent, home)

[Kefir King]

Upper Carnegie Hill wins the prize. Might that be acronymed CaHiNo?

Google 1280 5th avenue and look on streeteasy to take in the shenanigans

East brooklyn makes more sense though. If it can hide the shady past of the region and promotes positive changes, that is a great thing.

Since about late 1990's I should think.


Ever since the gentrification/redevelopment of Sixth Avenue/Flower District above 23rd Street began pushing east to include "north" of Madison Square Park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoMad,_Manhattan

Probably from the East Brooklyn business improvement district, which has been there prior to the real estate agents.

Nassau West?

Does 'EaBro' sound catchy ? lol

Character 1: "I heard Rebecca just moved to a renovated apartment at Pitkin Ave"
Character 2: "what, where is that ?"
Character 1: "that's in EaBro not far from Broadway Junction"
Character 2: "I heard there are some fantastic grilled cheese and stew over at EaBro"

so the story goes

I get the real estate part of it, but nobody on the street says East Brooklyn.
