Other Most Annoying People

Posted by: AuthorAllison | DateSaturday, March 20, 2010 at 6:48PM

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

But, since I seem to have annoyed so many people this week with what has to be the dumbest controversy I've ever been involved in (and NOOOO, I didn't engineer it as a publicity stunt), I thought I'd throw it out there. Point you rabid dogs in a new direction.

So, leaving aside me or my almost as annoying FIPS PICs, who is seriously bugging the shit out of you on this glorious spring day?

South by South Suggestions [My SXSWi 2010 Recap] [TMI]

Posted by: AuthorErica | DateSaturday, March 20, 2010 at 12:26PM

So this shit has nothing to do with Park Slope...or BK. It has to do with me and shit that's going on in my life (i.e. I just went to the SXSW Interactive Conference and now have some things to say about it). So if you think you wanna keep things strictly Park Slope-y between us, move right along.

So, I'm back from the SXSW Interactive Conference. Spring Break for Geeks is what they call this insanity, and much like every other Tumblr to Book idea out there, I'm pretty angry that I didn't come up with that description myself…cause its pretty right the fuck on.

Over 15,000ish people descended on from March 12-16th, and in case you didn't notice the metric ton of #sxsw hashtagged tweets (mine included, thank you very much), blog posts, twit pics, or the way better AT&T service in NYC thanks to the fact that all our asses weren't there, that was what was up.

Gone Drinkin': Park Slope Happy Hours

Posted by: AuthorAmanda | DateFriday, March 19, 2010 at 4:04PM

The snow has melted, the torrential rain has subsided, and the weather is GD beautiful up in NYC.  This is a good thing, mainly because I’ve been able to crawl out from underneath my crippling case of Seasonal Affective Disorder (it’s called SAD for a reason, people!).  I want to wear shirts without sleeves!  I want to drink in a courtyard!  I actually want to go out after work rather than heading immediately home to eat a block of cheddar cheese!  I want to LIVE, Park Slope!

So, where do I go with my new-found desire to interact with humans?

We’ve compiled a round-up of some of the best happy hour drink specials in Park Slope (WITH outdoor drinking areas)*, so you guys can get your drink on and maybe nail down a Spring fling or two.  Hey, it could happen, right?

See youse guys at the bar. 

*Some places, while they may have a great patio or good specials, have been eliminated because they suck when evaluated against all other criteria.  Deal.

This Week In Coffee Beans: Starbucks Traitor?

Posted by: AuthorAllison | DateFriday, March 19, 2010 at 9:35AM

I admit it: I'm a fan of our local Starbucks.

I like the new long family-style table. And just this morning, with a line out the door, the courteous and conscientious staff took my order while I was still at least 10 people away from the counter.

They are nice and cool people, Starbuckaristas, and so organized—in fact—that I was wondering how many were actually unemployed recent MBA grads? (nah, they're probably English PhDs and would-be something-cool-or-others looking for some health insurance and a steady paycheck). I almost didn't mind shelling out $4.73 for my grande vanilla latte. Though, Jesus, that is a LOT of money for a cup of coffee.

FORNINO HEADED TO THE SLOPE

Posted by: AuthorMeredith | DateFriday, March 19, 2010 at 7:00AM

Of my top five favorite things in life, one of them is pizza (a few of the others are not suitable for publication).  So, when new pizza comes to the Slope, I welcome it with open arms...and an open top button on my pants.

Cue the (re)entrace of Fornino, currently nestled into your (probably least) favorite stretch of Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg.  Fornino will be opening up a location right on Fifth Avenue at Garfield (where Brooklyn native chef Michael Ayoub actually originally opened up, oddly enough), bringing their acclaimed pizza into the old Tempo space.  Rumor has it there will be an attached store with pastas, cheeses, sauces, and prepped foods, too (a la Russos?). 

This is right across the street from La Villa, so I'm expecting something of an epic pizza throwdown to be had.  Thoughts on a winner?  And if Williamsburg is now slowly but surely migrating to Park Slope, please bring Motorino immediately, and leave behind the...well, I don't have to say it, do I?

BREEDER v. BREEDER: PARK SLOPE PARENTS PULL THE PLUG

Posted by: AuthorErica | DateFriday, March 19, 2010 at 12:57AM

Well, it's official folks: Allison is now a ginuwine BR-ALLER.

She joins an elite group of BREEDERS who somehow managed to avoid becoming totallyfuckingannoying zombie parents by holding on to some modicum of their former fun/cool lives, and/or maintained the ability to express original, non-helicopter parental thoughts from time to time (BR-ALLER-n. a BREEDER who's proven themselves to be cool enough that, despite their tendencies to procreate, can still maintain the basic principles of a BALLER attitude and lifestyle).

Cause, really, what's cooler than having your Park Slope Parents membership RE-FUCKING-VOKED after you've "violated their joining agreement!?" (A: not much). Behold:

Your Doorman Knows You Have Herpes

Posted by: AuthorErica | DateFriday, March 19, 2010 at 12:39AM

There really is almost nothing that I miss about living in NYC. I swear...I LOVE it here in the BK.

But if I had to either name one thing I missed or get murdered (do you remember when you used to play those assinine games as a kid?), I would have to say that I miss our doormen.
