AMNY Does Cobble Hill
Cobble Hill: full of “yoga-glow moms pushing expensive baby strollers” and “wine bars, stylish boutiques and gift shops.” That’s part of the round-up of the nabe, courtesy of AMNY, which finds similarities between Cobble Hill and its Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill neighbors. So what’s different about it? “Cobble Hill is smaller and…
Cobble Hill: full of “yoga-glow moms pushing expensive baby strollers” and “wine bars, stylish boutiques and gift shops.” That’s part of the round-up of the nabe, courtesy of AMNY, which finds similarities between Cobble Hill and its Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill neighbors. So what’s different about it? “Cobble Hill is smaller and more intimate, especially east of Court Street where the noise and fuss gives way to peaceful little streets, gardens with wrought-iron fences and pre-Civil War era townhouses,” they write. They report a happy mix: old-school Italians residents; the Middle Easterners along Atlantic; an infusion of young hipster types, all peacefully coexisting in this pocket of the world. Sure, there are hipsters, but it’s not Williamsburg, said one resident. And too many strollers but it’s not Park Slope, either.

Likewise duckumu, the bococa thing makes my stomach turn.
You come on over here, you sound like just the kind of person we want in this neck of the woods. You must be paying as much or more there than you would pay over here, no?
mopar can stay in bushwick being an oh too cool for cobble hill hipster. feh.
Don’t forget Stinky Brooklyn on Smith, which has excellent cheeses, cured meats, and other gourmet items.
As a miserable resident of the miserable East Village, I look forward to living in such a dull neighborhood as Cobble Hill someday. I disagree that PS and Cobble Hill are similar… I feel like Cobble Hill borrows more from the vibe of Brooklyn Heights than “BoCa” (ugh, kill me), particularly the area west of Court…
Citarella! Oh good god, no we do not!
We have great grocery shopping and it’s expensive enough, please and thank you.
Sahadi, Damascus Bakery, Trader Joes, Staubitz, Green Pea, Jim & Andy, Cobblestone, at least 4 bakeries. No, absolutely not, we do not need Citarella.
Now mopar, please go find something useful to do dear, you’re getting on my cobblehill nerves.
Good heavens, I spent a fair amount of time in Antonio’s Nuthouse around 1986. What a strange coincidence.
I would like Cobble Hill more if it had a Citarella. Actually, I would like every neighborhood more if they had Citarella.
Palo Alto? I happen to be wearing an “Antonio’s Nuthouse” shirt right now.
You want action? Head over to East Palo Alto.
“in park slope i havent found any trouble”
Call me!
mopar, not another word from you.
Oh just trying to stir up some excitement this morning because I’m in frightfully dull Palo Alto visiting family. Translation: Cobble Hill is cute but the food isn’t great and it’s too expensive for me.
