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%).

Thanks A Guest!
I don’t agree with Coney Island as the best neighborhood for the best street culture, meshing Russian immigrants and sideshow workers. I live in Brooklyn Heights and Brooklyn Heights is much better than the best street culture, meshing Russian immigrants and sideshow workers in Coney Island.
Here’s a template for the rest of the posts today.
I don’t agree with __________ as the best neighborhood for ________. I live in ____________ and ___________ is much better than _______________ in _______________.
Because you’re not allowed to saying anything negative about the Brooklyn Flea… I’m gonna try anyway.
It’s really not all that.
Don’t get me wrong, the couple times I’ve gone there has been some great stuff. But very little of it is “flea market.” The prices are the same as the boutiques and shops that sell the stuff during the week. ($30 t-shirts does not scream “what a great deal!” or “what a find!”) The major difference is that it’s displayed on a table under a little tent.
But I guess that’s why it’s the “Brooklyn Flea” not just a Flea Market. It’s all about the package, not the content. Again, don’t get me wrong. It’s a fine even that creates income for folks and a place for freelancers and young professionals to spend their disposable income… but I hope no one thinks it’s a proper flea market. I hope.
“How about ‘Best Neighborhood to Go to a Flea Market In’?”
Ozone Park.
If this doesn’t result in 100+ posts and 30+ cases of NHS (Neighborhood Hypersensitivity Syndrome), I don’t know what will, other than perhaps a House of the Day to rival the Dyker Heights “Mansion” and Mill Basin’s Fantasyland.
Let the hating begin!!
