The Park Slope Neighborhood

by dogears - last update: Jun 15, 2003

7th Avenue and Sterling Street
Closest thing to Europe within the five Boroughs of New York City.
Meadowpoint Arch

PROSPECT PARK

Prospect Park is the best thing about the neighborhood. Plenty of room for frisbee, sunbathing and especially walking through wooded trails and through stone bridges.
3rd Street above 8th Avenue

BROWNSTONES

Only a handful of these classic 4 1/2 storey homes remain single family residences. The exception is the wide 3RD STREET shown here, with heavy ornamental stonework. Quarried 'brownstone' is used for a majority of the buildings in the neighborhood - often divided into 4 or 8 apartment units.::

See the Prospect Park Travelog for the next picture in a walking tour to grand Army Plaza.

Pros:"The long subway ride - keeps the neighborhood nice"
Cons:"The long subway ride - overcrowded commute in the morning"
In A Nutshell:"One of the finest urban neighborhoods in the country"
