A friend just set me an email on this. Looks like a fun way to see NYC while I'm in the vicinity. Formula E arrives in Brooklyn for the inaugural New York City ePrix on July 15 & 16. Formula E will host the first ever race to take place within the five boroughs of New York City in modern history at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. NYC ?

I'm in Brookyln pretty often for work and recently noticed this in a local newspaper. Pretty cool that they were able to actually make the event happen in NYC. It must be tough for Formula E organizers since all the races are street tracks. As far me, not work the time and headache to attend. Although I wouldn't expect big crowds - a Hipster fixie bicycle race would probably get more spectators in Brookyln!
The last time I was in Brooklyn (excluding Breukelen) was in the mid 70s. So it'll be interesting to see it again. Usually when I'm in NYC its usually Manhattan and Staten Island.
