Help with Brooklyn table names

I have 3 ideas for table names and can't decide. I definitely want a Brooklyn theme, so any of these could work. Which do you like?

1. Name them after neighborhoods and have a short history of the neighborhood on the table. (ie. DUMBO, Carrol Gardens, Park Slope, Clinton Hill, etc.)

2. Name them after landmarks and again have a history of the landmark on the table (ie Brooklyn Bridge, Cyclone, Prospect Park, Brooklyn Museum, etc.)

3. Name them after subways running through the neighborhood and graphically show the numbers as circles with the #s/letters in them like on the subways signs (ie 2, 3, F, Q, etc.)

i like the 1st one

Ohhhh!!! I love ideas #1 and #2! Very creative!

How many tables are you going to have. Are there enough neighborhood names to cover your tables?

Park Slope is my favorite Since I was born there

Only 8 tables so any of the themes should be do-able.

Park Slope is my fav too - I live there and am getting married there so if I do that idea, I'll have to sit at the PS table!

I live in Brooklyn too and can come up with 8 neighborhoods real easy.

I like the #1 but it would probably be easier to do #3 since you can replicate the subway symbols. I have a friend who did that at her wedding and it looked very chic.

Are most of your guests from NY? Will they get the Brooklyn neighborhoods concept?

Good point. About half the guests are from out of town. I'm not certain they'd get it. But if I included the neighborhood history on the back of the placecards or on a table tent, that might alleviate any confusion.

I like the idea of #2 the best. IMO it seems the most classy of the 3.

That's what I thought when I read it, but I can't figure out why!? Now that I see I'm not alone though, I'm gonna say it: #2 sounds the most classy...but they are all very creative. I think it may be b/c there's some roots in the landmarks--something everyone can relate to no matter where they come from. I DO come from Brooklyn, born and raised, and I can recognize that it's tough to use the words 'Brooklyn' and 'classy' in the same thought! There's something about the landmarks though that's old-timer-ish and special. :)
