In a rather glowing profile of The Developers Group today, The Daily News cites one sales strategy of its founder, Elan Padeh: He asks prospective Brooklyn buyers which neighborhoods they like in Manhattan, and then directs them towards their Brooklyn equivalents. Here’s how he lines them up:
  Park Slope = Upper West Side
  Williamsburg = East Village + Tribeca
  Fort Greene = West Village
  Dumbo = Soho
  Carroll Gardens = Nolita

Pretty accurate, we’d say. What are some others?

    BHO = Carlton Sheets of late-night infomercial fame

    “I bought this house with no money down! You can do it too”

  2. Please don’t insult Jerry Sienfeld or Lewis Black by making those comparisions 🙂

    And most of all don’t insult Snarkslope by comparing him to David Letterman.

    Snark Slope = Woody Allen

  3. cobblehiller- you realize, of course, you will ALWAYS be a follow after me in the SOTD’s 🙂

    Montrose = Mother teresa (she will so kill me for that)

    benson = dick cheney
    dave = Rupert Everett
    BRG = Julia Louis Dreyfus
    denton = Ben Franklin
