If you’ve lived in New York long enough, you begin to realize there’s occasionally a paradox about spots in your own neighborhood: the closer you live to something, the less often you actually go there. That’s why we’ve been exxxxtra careful at making sure we’ve personally vetted every recommendation on our Park Slope list. This list is the culmination of a year and a half of exploring our own neighborhood and asking ourselves, “why haven’t we been here yet?!” So enjoy! And if you ever move to Park Slope, you’re welcome in advance.

Pasta Louise

For unfussy Italian in a fun outdoor setting with noodle shapes that change everyday

Al di La

For old school Italian and ragu!!

La Villa Pizzeria

For the best pizza in Park Slope (think Neapolitan crust, but NY slice size, and with roni cups)

Bagel Pub

For our weekend bagels

Russo’s

For old school Italian grocery and a killer deli sammie (PS- there’s two locations, but our favorite is the 5th ave spot)

Cafe Regular

For a French bistro style cafe and a spot to sit and read the morning paper, espresso in hand

Everyman Espresso

For…espresso, made by baristas who know what they’re doing (and are so nice!)

Colson Patisserie  

For treats from a longstanding bakery that supplies basically every coffee shop in Park Slope

Union Hall

For a multi-purpose space that simultaneously feels like the library and also your friend’s basement (nightly shows are downstairs!)
