BoCoCa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BoCoCa is an umbrella term for three neighborhoods in Brooklyn, New York. The name is a portmanteau word combining the names of the neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens.[1] The relatively new name is not widely used, but is gaining greater currency, even outside the United States.[2] Among the publications using BoCoCa to classify neighborhoods is the Not For Tourists guide, which lists BoCoCa with Red Hook.[3]
