10 Things to do in Park Slope That You Shouldn't Miss
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Went to Olive 101 class with my husband. The owner Greg was very knowledgeable. Had a great time tasting the varieties during the class and then after. We found ourselves in the supermarket the next day reading all of the bottles of olive oil as if we were food critics. This class was a great date night and the store itself is packed with unique flavors and gift ideas.

We went with a group of 4, and were immersed from the moment we arrived. Fantastic storytelling to set the scene, a great stage based escape room with lots of attention to detail and smart riddles. Loved it all the way!

We walked up Park Slope and marvelled at the luxurious houses. Two attractions for me were the huge cooperative food store and Annies garden, communal land used by a team of volunteers to grow fruit and vegetables; you can wander in and there are seats to take in the ambiance. In England we would call this area allotments. Park Slope leads to the Brooklyn Museum, Library and Botanical Gardens and of course the Prospect Park is a huge recreational area.
