Brooklyn Is Everywhere, And Everywhere Is Brooklyn:

Remember when New York City was perceived as some sort of gritty urban jungle? Haha. Remember when Brooklyn was perceived as an even grittier urban backwater? Hahaha. Remember when New York City was "cool?"

"Ultimate" meaning both the greatest and the last, because after this inimitable exercise in pining for lost love, no one will ever dare miss a connection again.
