The combination of Islamic candle and bookstores next to the $150 t-shirt and $5,000 wedding gown shops makes my head spin. What this neighborhood needs- desperately- imo is more functional shopping: for example a grocery store or a gourmet food store would be wonderful- a place where I could get a decent eyebrow wax or buy a bagel would be even better. OR- a playground where homeless men aren't sleeping on the benches would be amazing. This neighborhood has its benefits but I'm constantly hoofing it to cobble hill or park slope for the things I actually Need!
