Today Brownstoner has a list from Brooklynian of Park Slope’s hidden/or not so hidden gems; the laces that the real Park Slopers know and love. It’s an ongoing list and you can add your own suggestions. The list seems to extend the definition of Park Slope (Windsor Terrace, Sunset Park, etc). But hey, a list is only a list. Please send me your Park Slope gems. These are just a few excerpts.

Donuts: "7ave, btw 8th and 9th. For my money there is not a
better BLT in the hood. Plus they are open at 4am which is huge for
me…"

Best doctor:
Dr. Burton Fletcher. He is bearded, left handed, kind, and old school.
He admits when he doesn’t know and will not over prescribe. He is a
member of a dying breed: classically trained in the art of family care
with a wide ranging knowledge base. I like that he delivers your fate
directly, clearly and without deviation.

Best one-two punch of a corner: If Barbes didn’t smell like
a French woman’s armpit and if Collson’s wasn’t always out of whatever
I might want I’d say 9th St and 6th Ave. As it stands, however, 6th
Ave. and 20th street gets the nod. Kitchen Bar is just flat out good.
Nice bar, good, small, fresh dishes… next door is BBQ or something…
huge plates of meat – like bring a suitcase for leftovers size plates,
beans, collard greens, etc… Much more importantly, it has the best
bourbon menu in Park Slope and likely beyond. We are talking 30-40 wide
ranging varieties all for $5-$7. You cannot beat this place.

Best bagel alternative: The Pie Shop. Prospect Park West at
16th st. We’re not talking your grandmother’s thanksgiving day standby;
these pies are meaty and bursting with flavor. They are designed to be
easy-to-carry and eat on the go, perfect if you’re looking to skip the
bagel joint across the street on your way to the train. My personal
favorite is the mince steak and cheese.

Best Sandwich Counter: The sandwich counter at the back of A&S (5th
and Garfield, I think), is money. You might pay a couple dollars more
than at a regular deli, but it’s worth it — I live and die for Il
Classico –, just-salty-enough mozz, perfectly thin proscuitto, fresh
basil, tomatoes on awesomely delicious bread. Add oil and vinegar if yr
nasty.

Best beer selection: Eagle Provisions
