A “cougar”? In a BAR? thought NYC had dangerous-animal laws.
Wonder if some exec at HGTV lives in Park Slope. Nothing “top notch” in the slope.
Oh this kind of article just proves Park Slope has jumped the shark. OK, joking, joking, sorry.
How much was a brownstone in Park Slope in 2003-2004?
“Ha Ha Ha, Location Location Location. It matters and prices will reflect that”
Ha ha ha, location was already reflected in pre-bubble prices in 2003 before the run-up, billybuster. Park Slope was already more expensive than Clinton Hill. Overleverage homogeneously skyrocketed prices by 200%. Deleverage is also equal opportunity. Park Slope is on sale. Ha ha ha.
Dave – you freakin’ instigator!

Rob, once the weather warms up, you simply MUST walk around more.
7th down in the teens is great, the Grand Army Plaza area is spectacular with the Greenmarket on Saturdays, I’ve never even SEEN the horses in the park!
I also like 5th Avenue down in the teens…
yeah last july 11217.. but yeah point taken, makes sense.
and really i havent explored the neighborhood much. park once really (the horses scared me. im serious)., and ive only really explored 5th ave from like 5 blocks with the names in north slope down to maybe 10th street? and 7th avenue ive only been to once (the gamestop). pathetic i know.
*rob*
dittoburg –
Yes Jackson Hole too. Incredible place but not really a primary residence type. I would still pick a Carribean party island or a major international mega before I do another American city.
They should open up 5 Marc by Marc Jacobs stores in Brownstones along Montgomery Place.
I thought you just moved to Park Slope in the summer, Rob?
What is “schlock” to you or me, might be interesting to someone else. I happen to like a lot of the stuff in Park Slope, although I wish there were more vintage/thrift stores and places for men’s clothing. Not necessary though…I really don’t buy all that much stuff anyway.
And it’s all but a certainty that things will be getting much worse before they get better.
