Hey, Grace and Amy are two of my faves in Park Slope and they’re BOTH on the Park Slope 100. Brooklyn Based asked them to come up with five things to love about the Slope. And I love them for doing it. Here’s Amy Sohn’s. I’ll run Design Sponge’s Grace Bonney tomorrow. And check out Brooklyn Based. It’s cool. You have to sign up for it to get her emails 3x a week. We’re doing cocktails together on March 26th at Sidecar.
2. Al di La – moderate prices for amazing Northern Italian food, and ambiance that can’t be beat
3. The Prospect Park Boathouse and the electric boat rides around the reservoir
4. The Montauk Club — a private club open to all, which just welcomed a new executive chef [Joel Thompkins]
5. Picnic nights at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden [this year, June 25, July 30 and August 27]
Joel Thompkins is a culinary master. The Montauk Club restaurant is truly a gem of Park Slope in its own right.
looking forward to grace’s take!!
