====Irish American====
Third-, fourth- and fifth-generation [[Irish Americans]] can be found throughout Brooklyn, with moderate concentrations{{Clarify|reason=vague|date=January 2018}} enduring in the neighborhoods of [[Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn|Windsor Terrace]], [[Park Slope, Brooklyn|Park Slope]], [[Bay Ridge, Brooklyn|Bay Ridge]], [[Marine Park, Brooklyn|Marine Park]] and [[Gerritsen Beach, Brooklyn|Gerritsen Beach]]. Historical communities also existed in [[Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn|Vinegar Hill]] and other waterfront industrial neighborhoods, such as Greenpoint and Sunset Park. Paralleling the Italian American community, many moved to Staten Island and suburban areas in the postwar era. Those that stayed engendered close-knit, stable working-to-middle class communities through employment in the civil service (especially in law enforcement, transportation, and the [[New York City Fire Department]]) and the building and construction trades, while others were subsumed by the [[professional-managerial class]] and largely shed the Irish American community's distinct cultural traditions (including continued worship in the [[Catholic Church]] and other social activities, such as [[Irish stepdance]] and frequenting Irish American bars).{{Citation needed|date=January 2018}}
