The State of 7th Ave

If you’re walking down 7th Avenue in Park Slope, you might experience sensations of dizziness or disorientation. This is due to the massive turnover along this commercial drag recently: The Brooklyn Paper notes that the main drag from Flatbush Avenue to 15th Street has 27 storefronts either empty or in transition. Since rents are going down and lower rents favor restaurants, says the article, this means more eateries are on their way in, changing the character of the neighborhood. Some residents bemoan these changes, while others are adding menus to their take-out drawers, but Steve Sommers, a local broker, notes that previously higher rents were too high. It was a bubble, but now all the hot air is getting let out, he told the Paper.

hmm i dont know about alphabet city. way too fratty and sorority these days. i lived on the LES for about 4 1/2 years and it was the same for the most part.
i thoroughly enjoy living in park slope A LOT. something i never ever thought in a million years id like, so ill stay where i am. oddly for the most part people in park slope don’t annoy me at all.

Chelsea is my least favorite neighborhood in NYC. Hate it, never go there.
Goes to show you can’t make generalizations and stereotype someone from some posts on a blog.
Just because I think it would be nice to have a neighborhood bar to meet people doesn’t mean I have to like Chelsea.
rob, have you ever considered Alphabet City?

Oh, and Song is great.
Thanks for the recommendations. Will try Song next time.
It is true that there are a lot of mediocre Thai places in Williamsburg. You cannot go wrong with the following ones though:
– Lily Thai (615 Grand Street, Brooklyn NY 11211)
– Khao Sarn (311 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211)
They are managed by Thai people.

I agree with you about the gay bars (although PS only has one that’s not a lezzy bar) but still…a nice divey one could be fun. Like I said…most definitely not a necessity, but since we’re shooting the shit about it…
oh yes a video arcade!!! it might sound like an outdated business, but not really, it would do well i think.
i think there’s enough gay bars in the area really. and most of the straight bars are pretty gay as it is, 11217.
kiels is a make up store where men buy make up. no thanks!
