“'Brooklyn girls know where they are going and how to get there — we have drive, ability, creativity and a toughness that is ultimately true inner strength rather than false bravado,' said Monica Byrne, co-owner of Tini wine bar and Home/made Bklyn, both in Red Hook." That's according to the Brooklyn Paper—whenever we want to know about trends, there's nobody we trust more than the owner of a gentrifo-winebar and a store selling "unique antique, artisan crafted and new contemporary items to adorn your home and your body." Meanwhile, elsewhere in Brooklyn, some girls are late to their pants-optional "home offices" because maybe half a bottle of beer was spilled on the keyboard the night before and quite possibly they spent the morning prying out the keys with a flathead screwdriver.
