Curbed: East Villager Darren Aronofsky comments on 'Pioneering Spirit' and Brooklyn
BROOKLYN—Film director Darren Aronofsky made a comment at the Stoli Film Pioneer Awards that the only "pioneering spirit" he had growing up was to get out of Brooklyn. This got picked up by the press, and the opportunity proved too juicy for Brooklyn cheerleader Marty Markowitz to pass up. His office just sent out a media blast with Marko's response: "Judging by his age, Darren Aronofsky was probably one of the last young Brooklyn artists to want to leave our borough—these days, for talented young people from every corner of the globe, 'hitting the big time' in music, visual art, writing and yes, independent film, means coming to Brooklyn!

Houston St. to 14th St., East River to Fourth Ave.
The neighborhood with the highest concentration of bars in the city (if not the world) scores off the charts in all the expected areas: retail diversity, restaurant density, proximity to nightlife, and desirability to the creative classes, with only schools and affordability truly lacking. With a typical two-bedroom running at about $3,300 per month, it’s expensive. But thanks to nearby NYU, the East Village has more income and ethnic diversity than most of its neighbors.
