“is best cause of:…actual slope shape”
ummm WTF?
All the places listed are pretty wealthy places. How about a list that takes into account stuff you’d actually want – a good bookstore, movie theater, for instance.
Agreed, slopedoglover! I do all of those things — it’s precisely why I love the neighborhood. For those that don’t love it, well, just don’t love it. I don’t really care.
My lips are sealed.
😉
In other news, “Backdoor magazine voted Park Slope one of the creamiest places to live”.
Whatever you say about the Slope, ‘on points’ relative to other hoods in Bk, it is best cause of: park, actual slope shape, lack off commercial on 8th and 6th (mostly), food, shopping, public schools, people, some diversity, location w/i Bk near cultural attractions, housing stock, limited high rise, vigilant community.
I don’t live there and probably never will. Objectively, though, has to be best.
Hey guys, park slope is a great neighborhood. I actually go to the park, shop in the stores, and eat in the restaurants. I don’t know if I would call it one of the dreamiest neighborhoods in the country, though!
Excellent. Maybe now I can sell my apartment!
Maybe they mean dreamy as in sleep-inducing.
