Park Slope is a calm oasis in a metropolitan area. It reminds me of a leafy London suburb: so close to town but without the anxiety of being in the middle of busy city life.

Prospect Park is a walkers/runners/bikers/strollers dream. You can do the whole circuit in about an hour at a leisurely pace. The park is beautifully designed with woodland trails that feature waterfalls, streams and ravines, the Lake, the Boathouse, the Carousel, the Zoo—not to mention the great hike to the top of Lookout Hill.

Fifth Avenue Open Boulevard every weekend is exceptional for dining, strolling, and people-watching. Every few blocks you hear a different singer-songwriter or small band performing on the corner or at an outdoor restaurant.

Quaint Columbia Street Waterfront is nestled between the BQE and East River on the other side of Cobble Hill. Historic cobbled-streets wind throughout, there are adorable shops and delicious restaurants and bars. A naturally landscaped bike and running path along the waterfront connects directly through the incredibly fun Brooklyn Bridge Park. This park includes Piers 1-6, which has a little something for everyone! One can find expansive fields, verdant gardens, the best swings in Brooklyn, beach volleyball, roller skating, soccer games, and stunning horizons with views of the Manhattan skyline!
