hello! anyway long time lurker here but decided to sign up today cuz i plan to come to the happy hour on the 16th..

i just moved to park slope from harlem in july and honestly, i f’ing love it. i really didnt think i would at all. things aren’t as cheap as they were in harlem, but i guess as long as i dont go crazy things will be okay (bitter renter here yes. with my finances, i will never own. at least not in nyc)

anyway, i just wanted to say hi and that i enjoy a lot of your posts and i used to read this blog waaaay before i even thought of moving to brooklyn. i sorta wound up in park slope by luck. it was either harlem again or bushwick for me.

my fav. part of park slope is that everyone leaves free shit on their stoops!!! LOVE IT! i’ve gotten so much great shit that people leave. i pretty much furnished my entire bedroom with the free stuff people have thrown out. (okay that probably sounds gross, sorry).

nice to meet all of you! if you ever see someone on 5th ave and 1st street walking a pitbull and a beagle, it could be me (or my roommate actually. or our dog walker.. hmm) well see you on the 16th!

ps.. can anyone suggest any restaurants in the area that aren’t really overpriced but still a nice place to take someone? like if youre on a budget… maybe no more than 20 bux per person.
