Hey girl, is this meme getting tired, or is that just cuz we were up all night?
First Ryan Gosling went feminist, then he got all typographical, and now, the hey-girl propositioning meme featuring the populist choice for sexiest man alive has come, inevitably, to Park Slope. And where else but everyone’s favorite non-corporate cooperatively owned grocery store? Ladies, feast your non-GMO eyes on Food Coop Ryan Gosling. Ry Guy loves him some sustainably sold produce, but don’t start bitching to him about how you got suspended.
Thanks to Tom Sullivan for the tip!
Everyone’s a-tizzy with rumors that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are moving to Park Slope with their growing brood. Yes, that would change… a lot of things. The new standard mom jeans will be Current/Elliot stovepipes instead of Lee Easyfit and everyone will be divided into haves and have nots. (My kids have played with hers, yours have not.) But if people are worried that the neighborhood is going to get even more uppercrusty… pshaw. Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve long been defenders of the Park Slope Food Coop, but the place has been a raging nut house lately.

Visit every bowling alley in Brooklyn, compete in the Punderdome, hit every spot on our Brooklyn brunch list– these are the Brooklyn things I resolve to do this year. Also: find a viable alternative to the Park Slope Food Coop, go to one workshop at Etsy labs and one weird meetup. I will bike that path along the Belt Parkway, wherever it starts. I will kayak on the Gowanus Canal. Maybe. I will canoe at Prospect Park. I will do as much free yoga as I can get to. This is the year I finally set foot inside the River Café, if only for a drink, get my butt to Roberta’s, eat a Peter Pan red velvet donut and go to Bed-Stuy to try doubles, a Trinidadian spicy chickpea sandwich of sorts. This summer I will trek out to Rockaway Taco and that truck in Sunset Park. I’m going to judge for myself whether Montreal bagel from Mile End deserve the hype. even if the Brokavore wasn’t impressed. I am going to volunteer in Brooklyn.
What are your Brooklyn resolutions for 2012?
