“Superstooper – I think dreamy was the wrong adjective for this list. Either that, or these people have very boring dreams.”
I believe it’s a take on their “Dream Home Giveaway” theme on HGTV. Each year they build a gorgeous home somewhere in the U.S. and have a sweepstakes for it.

8th Ave in Manhattan has bookstores & movie theatres. Fewer than when Guiliani first came to office though. Sad.
My point was that when I judge places to live, I look for places like bookstores and movie theaters, not the things listed in the article.

I live in Park Slope and enjoy it. I have no idea if it’s “dreamy” or not and don’t really care. Also, infinitejester, there is a good community bookstore on 7th ave and a movie theater on 14th st.
