Where it sits
Park Slope is the brownstone Brooklyn of the imagination — Prospect Park on one side, Fifth and Seventh Avenues full of independent shops and restaurants, and some of the most consistently handsome residential streets in the city. Gowanus below it is the former industrial edge now full of breweries, climbing gyms and galleries. A small number of design-led hotels serve both.
