Our next neighborhood was Park Slope. It does not take much time to realize that the attractive Park slope area is certainly reminiscent of Manhattan's upper west side. In both neighborhoods one finds highly commercial avenues that lie perpendicular to charming residential side streets. There are newly renovated (and expensive) condominiums and townhouses scattered across this Brooklyn neighborhood, and one is hard pressed to find one aspect of the area that is unappealing. Indeed, after visiting this area one can understand why it is so expensive to live in Prospect Park.
We then visited the infamous and beautiful Prospect Park, designed by the talented Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. We found that Prospect Park rivaled Manhattan's Central Park in elegance and at the same time contained fewer people, making the experience more serene.
