Park Slope

The Guide

Saturday at Grand Army Plaza — strollers, sourdough, and Olmsted's favorite park doing the heavy lifting.

Park Slope is the neighborhood Brooklyn parents move to when they decide to stay in New York. Prospect Park — Frederick Law Olmsted's favorite project, better than Central Park by his own account — runs its entire eastern edge. The main strip on 5th and 7th Avenues has every restaurant, coffee shop, and bookstore you'd need. The school district is legitimately good.
