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.

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.

infinite jester – i think BoCoCa is more like PS’s baby brother, and they’re in one of those double strollers where the big kid gets the real seat and the baby gets that little lowrider bucket underneath where you don’t even know the baby’s there until it starts crying.
“in park slope i havent found any trouble”
Rob, clearly you’re not trying hard enough! 🙂
broadwagon, i feel exactly the same way. i honestly really really thought i would despise park slope. i completely thought every stereotype would be true, only to really find none of them true… i mean yeah, if you look hard enough you’ll see it, but for the most part it is definitely the nicest place i have ever lived in nyc as well. i would get into so much trouble in harlem, and i swear i wasnt even looking for the trouble. in park slope i havent found any trouble and if the worst thing ive done there is to break a stripper pole, than that’s a good thing 🙂

I like living in Cobble Hill (better than any place I’ve lived in NYC, actually). It’s a good feeling to get off the train and not think, “I can’t stand this sh*thole, but once I get inside my place, it’ll all be good”. Yeah, I don’t have those thoughts in CH.
BoCoCa and PS are twins
i find bushwick frightfully frightful
that’s why i live in dull CH
and i moved to a dull neighborhood cuz i wanted to actually sleep at night and not hear gunshots going off every 5 minutes.

I moved from Manhattan to live on a relatively “dull” and quiet street.
ruh-roh N.S.S. is rearing it’s ugly head!
