So are you happy to call Brooklyn home?
I love living in Brooklyn and I love it here in Bed Stuy. Its soooo quiet compared to Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. I love the ability to chat with my neighbors and make neighborhood friends; something that never happened in manhattan.
Yes, I wish there were more restaurants to walk to but Ft. Greene and Boerum Hill are pretty close by.
Brownstoner:
I enjoy visiting Brooklyn on Brownstoner, wherever I may be.
Nostalgic on Park Avenue
It is funny I once told a guy from Manhattan that I live in Bedford Stuyvesant. He said is that the same as Stuyvesant Town. When I lived in Ft Greene ten years ago I use to get oh watch your back. That was always a good laugh. When I lived in Park Slope I always got a good response. But that was before homes reached 1.3M and 5th AVE was not 7th AVE twin.
Nah, those dropouts might have MacBooks.
pitbull do you hang out with abunch of art school drop outs?
Rob, I know what you mean.. Although I currently live downtown Manhattan, I can’t wait to go back to Park Slope. I was in such a better mood…
Never once have I gotten the Park Slope dis; the people I meet who ignore Brooklyn know of it but don’t care. Neither do they care about blogs and other cool stuff, so f*** them.
The scale of Brooklyn suits me to high heaven, plus I work here. If PS outprices me anytime soon, there’s lots of other nabes I can feel at home in here.
I like Clinton Hill because my block in the morning is impossibly quiet. It’s like living in the country in the city. I wouldn’t have that in the West Village, or even most of Park Slope for that matter.
it’s a double edged sword for me. when people ask me where i used to, when i lived in manhattan, i would just give neighborhood name.. (les, then chelsea, then harlem) but now when people ask where i live i just say brooklyn. and i always get the “where in brookllyn question?” and then im like forced to say park slope. some people totally laugh at me. most of my friends make fun of me for living in park slope but i really DO like the neighborhood a lot. i was scared of making the transition from manhattan to brooklyn but i can honestly say i like it MUCH MUCH better. when i go back to work on a monday morning in soho i get this dizzying feeling (tho it could be a hangover who knows) cuz of all the people, i prefer quieter streets. the only gripe i have about brooklyn is that people in brooklyn (oldbies and newbies alike) just don’t seem as funny as people in manhattan do. (uh except you people of course hahah).
