New York's Best Neighborhoods
Time Out has a roundup of the best places to live in our fair city, broken down into categories. Shopaholic?

Time Out has a roundup of the best places to live in our fair city, broken down into categories. Shopaholic? Try moving to Williamsburg, where art books, vintage clothes, records, wine and computer parts are in vast supply. Carroll Gardens, by the way, was runner up. Coney Island turned up the best street culture, meshing Russian immigrants and sideshow workers, what they call “ethnic New York and honky-tonk New York.” No word on whether the street culture will hold now that Astroland is gone and the fate of Coney Island is in the balance as Thor Equities figures out how to reinvent it. Finally, for the LOHAS dark green eco-fanatics, the neighborhood of choice is Park Slope, what with the food co-op, the big ole park and the high recycling rates (27.1%, though it’s second to Tribeca’s 27.9%).

Where are all the cool kids posting today? How am I supposed to make it until 6pm @ work without some good ol’ fashioned hipster/park slope mom bashing??
DOW-you are a font of good cheer today all over this site.
“What’s the real story?”
After you see sift through all the technical details, it’s the sequel to The Crash of 1929 all over again. Paulie and Benny’s jobs are to do what the central banking cartel tells them to do: Privatize the gains (“we’ll take the reward”), socialize the losses (“naw, we don’t want the risk”). They are accomplices to this massive heist of tax revenue. They’re doing their jobs quite well.
The Feds need to go after all those bonuses that Wall St handed out. They took the risks, not us. Other firms and individuals get affected by AIG’s and WAMU’s demise – so what? They took the risk too (whether they knew it or not – ignorance is a risk). Mac had it right the first time.

How do they measure the recycling rate?? Perhaps PSlopers, including stroller moms, consume more things that come in recyclable containers than in other nabes. All those hipsters that seem to think they need to walk around with a bottle of water all day!!
When I grow up, I’m going to move to the community that has the highest recycling rate.
I live in Park Slope and I like it, despite the fact that I do not have and do not plan on having children. If I could afford to buy here, I would, but I can’t, so I will probably end up living in some other neighborhood at some point.
That’s … that’s all I got.
Hmmm… Prodigal Son, I’ll have to revisit the Flea. Perhaps it’s a bit more flea market and a little less BH boutique. I could certainly use some more decorations in my less-than-inspired apartment.
Paulson & Bernanke have a very tough job here weighing the collapse of markets against the concept of free markets. They’re doing a pretty good job here and using the correct instruments/methods. The concerted efforts by the central banks around the world (including the unprecedented action by Japan) last night was historic and monumental. The proof is in the $. It has weakened only slightly against the Euro from 1.40 to 1.43 after a huge show of strength from 1.59.
But I’m no Gergen or Stein; just some Asshat here on brownstoner. Stein is a TV personality, that’s all!
