How did we get on Lakewood?

LB, don’t get too caught up in the banter between the Queens and Brooklyn people; they would both be good communities.

Brooklyn is a bit more clearly divided than Queens: Crown Heights is for Lubavitchers, Flatbush is for Litvaks, and Boro Park is for Chasidim. The Queens communities are a bit more mixed I think. The language barrier would most likely be problematic for Boro Park. If you’re going down the Chabad path, you should be forewarned that Crown Heights is an extremely unsafe neighborhood. I don’t know as much about Queens, but the downside there would be that you would most likely have a longer commute.
