Though she hasn't officially announced her presidential candidacy, Hillary Clinton appears to already be courting the votes of Brooklynites (we'll spare you the h-word). Politico reports that the Clintons have signed a deal for two floors at One Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn Heights that will house her campaign headquarters.

Much has been made of the fact the building's slogan is "Modern Offices. Brooklyn Cool." despite the fact that, as Gothamist notes, it's within walking distance of Equinox, Starbucks, and Shake Shack, and also houses Morgan Stanley and a U.S. attorney's office, making it maybe the least cool building in all of Brooklyn.
