BoCoCa
BoCoCa is a
umbrella term for the small region of Brooklyn directly south and southwest of Downtown Brooklyn. The relatively new name is not widely used,[2] but is gaining greater currency, even outside the United States.[3] Among the publications using BoCoCa to classify neighborhoods are the Not for Tourists guide and New York magazine, both of which list BoCoCa together with neighboring Red Hook.[4][5]
NYC & Company, New York City's "official marketing, tourism and partnership organization",[6] has conferred recognition of the term BoCoCa on its web site.[7] However, it is a word that is almost never used by actual residents of the three neighborhoods in question.
