is a business center in Downtown Brooklyn ]] Downtown Brooklyn is the third largest central business district in New York City (following Midtown Manhattan and Downtown Manhattan ), and is located in the northwestern section of the borough of Brooklyn . The numerous office buildings including the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower and 4 MetroTech Center in the district give the area its own Skyline distinct from Manhattan's. The area gets its name from having once been the downtown section of the City of Brooklyn, which was an independent city before the consolidation of the five boroughs of New York City in 1898 . Today, the area is a newly rezoned and growing commercial district, and it includes Brooklyn Borough Hall, the Kings County New York State courthouse, and the central courthouse for the Federal Eastern District Of New York . There are numerous attractions within the area, including the Fulton Street Shopping District , Brooklyn Academy Of Music and the New York Transit Museum . It is connected with Manhattan by the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and various Subway Lines . Photos
