What a nice area, it makes me wish I could live there. I saw so many pets and strollers here! It seems like the perfect starting a family kind of place. Me and my dogs walked around and even felt like we fit in. I loved walking around this particular neighborhood. More

This is diversity incorporated, with an upscale, highly-politically-correct edge -- but it's still Brooklyn at its best. Hard to beat the gorgeous brownstones (often complete with stoop sales), the hundreds of trendy shops and restaurants, the legions of "Mammarazzi" with their strollers and bundled babes, etc, etc. It's a great place to be, to live, to visit -- but money...

My daughter had stated she had seen a restaurant called "the sidecar" on the food channel that she would like to try, so off... More

Park Slope has it all - fantastic restaurants (high end and casual cafes), great shopping, beautiful residential blocks, Prospect Park, and the world-class Brooklyn Museum (not officially in the Slope, but along the border). Go in summer to the Celebrate Brooklyn music festival in Prospect Park and you'll see why families and singles love to live here. Park Slope has... More

I think park slope is the heart of Brooklyn. I visit it two or three times a week because of its wonderful food choices and ambiance. The neighborhood is great and has a lot to offer in terms of food, services and entertainment. I highly recommend it! More

It's a trendy area with lots of small boutiques and restaurants. The brownstones are beautiful to look at. It's not far from Prospect Park, so after a walk around the park, take a walk around the neighbor hood and eat at one of the cafe' with outdoor dining. More
