It's That Time Again: Park Slope 100

Every year, Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn puts together the "Park Slope 100" and this year's list is creeping up on us. The list, for "famous and not famous alike" ranges anywhere from spiritual leaders to restaurant owners.

According to Only The Blog, the list consists of "100 stories, 100 ways of looking at the world, 100 inspiring people, places and things in and around Park Slope. It can be a person, a place, a thing, even an event. Let me know who, what and where was notable and powerful and 2009. One tip: I especially like people who direct their energies outward towards the better good of others in some way. Suggest yourself, your spouse, your relative, your friend."

The Best of South Brooklyn

The Village Voice just came out with its Best of NYC list for 2009. For your convenience, I've picked out a few of South Brooklyn's very best list-toppers:

1) Best Movers for Less: Park Slope Movers are the best guys to call to avoid back injuries and hernias.

2) Best Comics Outpost: Rocketship in Cobble Hill, for the nerdiest of nerds in South Brooklyn.

3) Best Bakery: At Red Hook's very own Baked, you can satisfy your sweet-tooth and your munchies.

4) And, finally, the Best Place to Get Loaded With Hooligans and Cops: Farrell's, the place where debauchery ensues and policemen partake.
