Five reasons to visit Park Slope, Brooklyn
The food
– this place has so much heart and soul. Every pasta dish is sensational. My go-to is the bolognese with gluten-free pasta, a glass of red wine, and the tiramisu. Far from regular,
Café Regularis the greatest morning experience – you’ll feel like you’re in France with a cup of tea (or coffee) and a croissant.
The bar
is a low-key British bar. I go there for the sausage roll when I’m feeling homesick. It’s also where I can find my husband when he’s not home.
The store
A beloved Park Slope bodega owner renamed his store
The Bad Wife– but he insists that his spouse is anything but! Everything you need can be found here, it’s all about shopping local.
Soundshas a neighborly atmosphere and meticulously curated goods. The in-house cafe and backyard is a great place for sunshine and conversation.
The thing to do
The culture
Go to
Public Recordsfor music,
Littlefieldfor comedy shows, the
Greenwood Cemeteryfor the Sophie Calle Installation and concerts in the catacombs, and the
Brooklyn Museum.
Wait, what about a hotel?
There are no hotels I’d recommend in Prospect Park itself, so check in to
The New York EDITION, The Times Square EDITION, or
PUBLIC.
