Exploring Park Slope

The whole gang at the Brooklyn Public Library at the start of our walk around Park Slope.


Last week, the Explore NYC class started at the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza, where we checked out the library's temporary art exhibit of New York City bridges. After a quick tour up the narrow escalator to the second floor, across the balcony, and into one of the library's enormous reading rooms, we headed out to walk around Park Slope.


We saw the grand homes along Prospect Park, the quiet, tree-lined streets and their brownstone buildings, which are ubiquitous in this area, and the variety of small shops, boutiques, and cafes on 5th and 7th avenues.


We've begun to write about our experience. Stay tuned, and come back and see what we've written!
