Thanks Barr, you lucky rat bastard. Friendly regards from Holland/ the Netherlands. ;-)
interesting you had to find bagels, buns and a deli; but not so much any laundry ...

Not that I know you guys, but I swear this apartment/location is soooo you and Adriana. Energetic yet chill, and cool af.
I think Jon is going to have a new favorite 5th Avenue :)
Hahaha
Don't worry Actionkid, you will always be his number 1 friend!🧑👨🦱😀😀
5th Avenue is barely Park Slope. Growing up there in the 90s, 5th avenue was deserted because it was only one block away from 4th avenue, and 4th was where you went when you wanted to get mugged. It's so bizarre to see it filled with like trendy bars and hipsters now, and to see forth ave full of glass and steel luxury apartments.
7th Avenue is the true lifeblood avenue of the Neighborhood though.
I love how charming the walk ups are and how each house personalizes the steps in their own way.
I would move there in a heartbeat if I didn’t have a prewar rent stabilized apt in Washington Heights. Having clean parks, stores, quiet neighborhood public transportation is what nyc is about for many people.
Slippery Storm moved in 1990. Laws now are that only one child can inherit the same apartment lease.
Slippery Storm where I am is nice. Washington Heights west of Broadway and Inwood in general are good. No brownstones but lots of parks and good transportation.
how much do you pay?
Alex Warth please email me altaclass@aol.com. But rents historically are lower than more southern zip codes.
@Slippery Storm Its not just greedy landlords, the property taxes keep going up and if the landlord can't raise the rent then the taxes and maintenance exceed the rental income.
Im a brooklyner. born and raised, and still here, 29 years!!! Were not used to vloggers walking around, so, I believe you will surely stand out and will definitely become more popular around the area . Also, Brooklyners are pretty bold, lol. Just like that guy approached you asking in curiosity, what you were doing, this will happen often!! Definitely expect more of it. I love my fellow Brooklynites :)!!! Brooklyn all day!
Also, Not to mention, the Mayor of NYC is often seen around that part of town. Don't be surprised if you casually run into him one day!!!:))) Is Brooklyn Awesome or what!! No place like it!
@@christthelord91 That's one of Park Slope's few cons, not one of its many benefits. DeBlasio sucks lmao, and the fact that he wastes taxpayer money because he'd rather be in Brooklyn than doing his job is one of the reasons for that. I voted for him the first time around, but he's been a monumental disappointment since just about the day he stepped into office.
Is it just me, or do you seem 'lighter' and happier? I like it. Good move. Looking forward to seeing the area through your vids. Congrats on the new place! It's really beautiful.
It's the trees in Park Slope. Having them around makes a WORLD of difference, when coming in from Manhattan. I remember when I worked in the city and I always felt like I was drained of energy during the day, until I got home, and it took me a long time to realize that was why.
As someone who just moved to Brooklyn, I love these videos! Can't wait to see more of your content and hope to run into you one day out in BK!
All the hardcore Brooklynites (like myself) have more class than to say "TOLD you so"(loL), but rather :WE GOT HIM". Welcome to Brooklyn. It WILL take you a very long time to explore... trust and believe :)
I agree!!
I wish I was a newyorker.. I've been there traveling and it was a great and unforgettable experience. Thanks to this channel for guides. Greetings from Indonesia!
It's expensive :)
There's nothing to like about any part of New York - thanks to the useless Mayor deBlasio and moron Andrew Cuomo. They love RUINING New York - and America will be next. I grew up in NYC and Brooklyn when it was the heart of America -- now, it's just a dump.
@@sandyrose2398 You're wrong. Obviously you're just a bitter person. Even at its worst, New York is better than anywhere.
@@JeffreySelbst amen
@@JeffreySelbst I'd agree...it's better than anywhere but Boston (my hometown so I'm biased).
Welcome to the neighborhood!! You and Adriana are going to love it here, its a great place to be, I've been living here my whole life, I love it here. Hope to see you around.
I'm so jealous, books for the taking 🤓 and sharing❣ I love your new neighborhood ! Congratulations!!!!😍
So glad for You and Andriana, and Congratulations on the beautiful art work and future sales.
I'm really enjoying the neighborhood as you're walking through it too! Some of the old and fabulous old architecture, high stairways, remind me of times gone by, and I can't help but think of all those ppl that were lucky enough to live there. Good Luck!
I lived on Prospect Park South West and I loved it so much. I miss my apartment, and I miss the location. There was a horse stable within walking distance, there were goats and chickens in the street by that stable. I utilized that park almost every single day. I traversersed the blocks of Park Slope and all of the avenues every single day and you can never get tired of it. I always knew a thousand people as I walked home from the train station. My kids used to say " No talking" because it would take me an extra hour to reach home as I would catch up with all of the people that I knew. I moved to Florida in 2006, I don't know what I was thinking... BUT, let me tell you, I am very happy that YOU chose this neighborhood and that you are about to have the best experience of your life.
Now I see why you moved to Park Slope! The setting there is so different from Manhattan. I haven't traveled outside of my East Side/Manhattan bubble in a while. It is definitely time that I take a visit down to Park Slope!
I love your demeanor and channel. Good energy
I grew up around that area. Prospect Park was a park I frequented in my childhood, lots of great memories. Great video!
I’m so glad you’re doing Brooklyn vids! I’m trying to move there when things get a little more back to normal
Beautiful neighborhood, dang so jelly 🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to more amazing contents! And keep on exploring guys! 👍👍
Love park slope! Moved right here in NY and haven’t ever felt the need to live in another neighborhood. Awesome street art markets, amazing food scene, the park, and exploring Windsor terrace is an absolute gem for a really quiet pretty stroll. Also check out the old stone house! It’s so cool if you’re into history.
Also:
Bagel place: bagel world
Coffee: postmark is by far the best. It’s also real cool inside once open.
Bar: double Windsor has awesome drinks and food. Forever my favorite. Also commonwealth and skylark for bars.
Grocery store: foodtown is new and is a game changer
Activities: artists/flea markets on 7th ave and 3rd on Saturdays and 5th ave by the farmers market on Sundays.
@@katedubois4052 Not to mention, if you have young children, PS 321 is one of the best public elementary schools in the city.
I’ve lived in Brooklyn twice in my 13 years in the city - Sunset Park (in the Chinatown area!) and Windsor Terrace, which is just below the Slope, and I’ve loved both times. Brooklyn, especially the Slope, has a wonderful vibe, especially around 15th Street Prospect Park. It feels like a quaint small or college town.
I love the neighborhood! You showed the print I bought. Yes, the vibe is slower, yah and I one I prefer these days. I hope to get to NYC in the next year to actually see some of these places. Be well.
I miss my Brooklyn I lived there practically all my life. Welcome to Brooklyn!!
Loved the last two videos, about your new apartment and the neighborhood! Looking forward to learning more about Brooklyn. Tell us more about Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights and all the ways you can get to Manhattan. Thanks!
I love the Park Slope vibe. In my last trip to NYC, back in January, my girlfriend and I went to Park Slope to explore some more the area and it was really nice. Quiet but with energy bobling up. And a bit spooky at night, which I personally loved. We went to a café and listening around some conversations there was this guy talking about a movie he just made and was about to premiere, I don't know, it was really cool.
By the way, in almost every video talking about or showing Brooklyn there is this like competition feeling with Manhattan, but what I like about Brooklyn is, precisely, that is not Manhattan. Don't get me wrong, I also have been completly obsesed with the idea that NYC was only about Manhattan. And even just some parts of Manhattan, like Midtown or the Lower East and West Side. But Brooklyn has its own way, its own mood, and that is something cool because makes NYC richer and more interesting. You can explore everything Manhattan has to offer, but also what Brooklyn, Queens and even The Bronx has to offer, which is not less.
So I appreciate when people stop comparing Brooklyn with Manhattan and stops saying if it's more quiet or not, or if its has the hussle of Manhattan or not and just starts enyoing how is Brooklyn itself.
I may extended myself a bit too much haha
Great comment!
The worst thing about Brooklyn today is how much like Manhattan it's becoming, with highrises popping up everywhere. As a native Brooklynite, it hurts my soul to see them :(
That cinnamon bun looked good. I'm happy to hear that you and Andriana are enjoying your new home. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I lived in NYC. I've visited four times; each time I return, it feels less like a vacation and more like coming home.
Love your videos, and here's to the hope that one day we'll do a collaboration video when I'm a New Yorker.
Moving to Brooklyn doesn't make you a "New Yorker", it makes you a transplant. You gotta be born & raised here to be a New Yorker.
@@JRBKLYN718 That's not true, it's possible to become a New Yorker, it just takes time and dedication. I say this as someone who was born in Park Slope, and has lived in Brooklyn for all 34 years of my life.
It's possible for people to become New Yorkers, but they have to demonstrate certain skills and pieces of knowledge before they earn their NYC citizenship. Factors include, but are not limited to, being on a first name basis with the guys running your local bodega, knowing the exact location of the objectively best pizzeria in the each borough (Di Fara's, Lombardi's, Louie & Ernie's, Joe & Pat's, and Newpark Pizza), and being able to accurately explain the subway system to a tourist. There are other factors required, but those are the most important ones in my view.
@@SRosenberg203 Nice!!
Love your new neighbourhood!!!! Love all your videos and can't wait to watch the next one. Stay safe!!!
Great choice John, it looks so beautiful!
Good luck in your new neighborhood. My wife and I loved exploring NYC restaurants and bakeries before covid. Can't wait to get back. (from Jersey by the way)
Good luck in your new place & hood! Beautiful fall weather now here in NYC, so get outside and enjoy the sun and changing leaves! 😸
Cool video. Nice to see you enjoying Park Slope.
Welcome to Outer Boroughs world! 😀 As things to do maybe horse riding in Prospect park? To me Brooklyn botanical gardens is best place to visit. Actually really cool and free on certain days. And also used to visit Brooklyn museum which has pretty interesting expos. One time long back saw Russian queen jewelry expo there. Keep an eye for huge minorah lighting end of December (Hanukkah) at Grand Army Plaza. And maybe check out Beacon’s Closet Thrift store.
What a great neighborhood! Between you, ActionKid, and Mary Jane, I have seen just about every part of NYC. From what I have seen, Brooklyn is the borough I would choose to live in. I love all of Park Slope, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens. Brooklyn Heights is nice too, if you can afford it. (Haha!) You made a great decision!
I'd be very interested in seeing the type of video you referred to about moving to a new neighborhood & needing to find where everything is, grocery, laundry etc. Thanks for keeping it interesting.
Unlike other vlogs of people moving to NYC where they are just acting vapid, you keep it real and genuine. Loving your vlogs. I've also decided to move to Brooklyn myself today!
Welcome to BK!
I've lived in Harlem, Williamsburg/ Bushwick, and now Sunset Park. Brooklyn is an adjustment, but I've come to love it and explore my own places too!
Greetings from Dubai! I loved watching this video on Brooklyn. If I could make a small observation, you seem happier and relaxed in Brooklyn than you were earlier in Manhattan!
Welcome to the hood!! I love living in Park Slope! Here are some of my faves:
Cafe Martin for coffee
Athena Mediterranean Cuisine: delicious Greek food
L'Albero Dei Gelati : the best gelato outside of Italy
Save on Fifth for anything you need for your apartment.
Awesome!!
Thanks
The gelato quality of LAlbero has gone down hill and there are better Gelato places in NYC than that one.
Looking forward to your Brooklyn neighborhood videos!
I enjoy all your videos about NYC Area.
Awesome video 👍🏾
Nice video John ! I’m visiting park slope 💯 next time I’m over from the UK it looks beautiful
Just discovered your channel and I’m hooked!!!!!
Park slope is great. I just bought in Seward Park, Lower East Side. Many people been living there 30 years.
Thanks for this video......it was delightful!
5th avenue is great. Also, check out Sotto Voce on 7th avenue. It is a really nice Italian place. Hopefully, when they open up fully, you can enjoy the ambiance. Yes, I love that people leave books on their stoop for anyone to take.
I've never been a huge fan of Sotto Voce, but I agree that one of my favorite things about Park Slope is just free books on any block. A fair number of books on my shelf I've just picked up from someone's stoop, and when I still lived in the Slope I would periodically leave books out that I didn't have space for anymore.
You will LOVE Brooklyn, It's close enough to town if you need or want to go in but it has real neighbourhood with community feel. It has everything you could need.I haven't lived there but my partner does and I love it even more than NYC itself. Dream home destination.Your new apartment looks just a HUGE step up . Wishing you and Adriana many happy years in your new home.PS Next time I'm there I will really have to check out Park Slope IDK I've ever been
We grew up in north Jersey too...Been to different areas of NYC,but thanks for enabling me to find Park Slope.Can honestly say,I never heard of it b4.Beautiful area!
Long time sub here, first time commenting. I loved that you shared this insight to your life as it is very similar to my grandfather's. He was born in Brooklyn in 1929 in Brooklyn, but moved to Summit, NJ in 1934. He would often take the train alone to Manhattan starting at age 11.
So happy for you brother! And yes you should definitely start making videos of the neighborhood and for new movers to NYC and on why they should choose brooklyn. Do you feel your neighborhood is more family oriented with activities and playground for families ?
The Superhero Supply store is still there! Awesome! You also walked past my TD Bank and old barber. So much good stuff in Park Slope!
I accidentally walked down 7th Avenue in park slope when visiting NYC a few years ago and fell in love in one afternoon! So cute, so many great shops and cafes etc... definitely will be somewhere I visit every time I’m back in New York!
I just stumbled on you. I'm enjoying your vids very much! I don't live in NYC but visit often to visit friends. These vids are very entertaining. Thanks! M@
Clinton Hill here welcome to Brooklyn.
as Biggie Smalls said "Spread the Love it's the Brooklyn Way!!"
also I rarely go to Manhattan besides work my favorite spots in the City now are Chinatown being # 1, LES, West Village and Wall Street.
Yeah other than like going for Dim Sum or Peking Duck in Chinatown, or going to my mom's house for dinner, I can't remember the last time I went into Manhattan.
Glad that you're settling into Park slope. Can we get an Alan update??? (How's he doing, what films are in the works, etc). Hola Adriana!
What a superb video. Thank you very much.
This video is so beautiful 😍 I have a dream of living in park slope some day. Love your channel. Keep it up
Thanks
I enormously enjoy your videos! 😁👍🏼
Fab video - only been to NYC once so good to see some of the non tourist areas👍
Welcome to Park Slope! I love living here!
You made the right move and chose a great neighborhood for the both of you!
More videos on the move please as well as adjusting to the new area!
I think we live a block from each other! Wife and I just moved here from Manhattan a month ago. Need to decorate our place with Adriana’s prints. See you around the neighborhood. Keep the park slope videos coming.
Thrilled for you, John. Wishing you many happy memories here.
Thanks!
Glad you’re enjoying Brooklyn! Looking forward to seeing more Brooklyn neighborhood content. If you’d like some suggestions around Brooklyn Heights, I’m happy to help! 😊
I like both the idea of living in a neighborhood but also getting the vibrant active environment too :) so hearing your POV was very interesting
Subscribed and enjoy !!
Good to see you getting settled. I'm hopeful you will will still keep offering Manhattan experiences for visitors. The main difference from visiting NYC for 3 or 4 days is simply TIME.
Yep, filming the Empire State building next week :)
what a beautiful neighbour hood excellent for talking a walk plenty to see and do .and a great apartment..when I can come to the US I will definitely come to Park Slope and take you and Adriana to lunch .as a thank you for all these amazing videos ..John and Adriana please anytime come to Sydney Australia would love to show you around my city and burbs ...
Check out soup bowl on 9th st and 7th ave....locals and hospital workers flock to this seasonal spot....then there is a local favorite in south slope Ladybird Bakery (former little red hen owner) where a brooklyn blackout cake/cupcake is a must
Beastie Boys' " No Sleep Til Brooklyn " is what did it. Lol
Hi Jon we recently stayed in beautiful park slope on 4th and union right opposite dinosaur bbq, although we didn't go there we did go to the bagel shop around the corner, my husband is a Baker and always trys out different bakeries, he was truly impressed,. Beer garage was small and very friendly, great burger and fries there,. The brownstones are amazing , I would recommend everyone to stay here ❤️
Park Slope is better than I imagined. I've only been there a few times when I went to Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park but I must say, It is just so beautiful!
I left the UES in favor of Brighton each. I live by the Ocean now and love it! 🤗 Brooklyn is awesome.
I hope I get lucky and see you and Adrianna!! I’d definitely want a pic with you guys! Lol 🤗🤗🤗
Im about to move to NYC and am trying to find a neighborhood to move into! Your videos are AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!
Was born in 1950. Lived on President St. between 4th. & 5th. Ave. Worked at Con Edison on First St. in Brooklyn for 38 years. You would have loved it in the 50’s & 60’s. You brought back many memories.great Susji at JPan on 5th. and First.
Just some of those restaurants you have shown could be several videos that you can make in the future and that just that area and now I’d imagine that if you ventured a distance away there could be tons of ideas for you to create content on the area/areas close to park slope. Definitely a great area for you and Adriana.
I like Brooklyn. Looks like a great location you guys picked.
Used to live on Berkeley Place in Park Slope and visited yesterday after a long time. Everything you said is true, food choices on 5th, Prospect Park, proximity to Barclays Center...
If I ever see you in Brooklyn I’ll definitely want to talk to you I go to the restaurant Calexico in Brooklyn all the time :)
Good vibes ,that's what it is this place!!!
This ISsss Brooklyn Zoo! Watch your back, them goons in the slopes are wild. Park Slope aka Dope Slope aka Dark Slope aka The Slopes!!! Best Deli is located in 6av and Sterling Pl.
The Bagel Hole and Terrace Bagels, VERY GOOD
Was thinking every few years you could relocate to each borough and vlog each in a more granular fashion!
As an employee who works in Park Slope. 7 ave has lots of stores. La Bagel Delight 7 ave and President street great bagels. I eat my lunch there. Pinos Pizza on 7ave between 1st and 2nd street.. Key Food supermarket 7 ave and Carroll st. Chase across the street from Key Food. Methodist Hospital. FDNY SQUAD 1. All in Park Slope. 1 Negative in Park Slope is Driving and Parking. Subway and Busses is good.
Pino's has kind of declined in the last decade or so. Da Nonna Rossa, over next to Key Food, is way better.
I am intimately familiar with Park Slope, great neighborhood, one of the best.
Pretty sweet neighborhood! This makes me love NYC even more
Be sure to stroll 7th avenue as well. It was the main strip back in the day before competition from 5th Ave. Park Slope is "grown up" Brooklyn
Speaking of Park Slope...I just finally went back to Luigi's the other day. We got 8 slices in two and a pie to take home. We were warmly welcomed and I felt that typical Italian hospitality again, that I miss so much. Thank you for showing me that place :)
I'm happy to see you guys moved, congrats!!! In my very modest experience of Brooklyn, I also feel like Park Slope is one of the best neighborhoods to live in. I wish you and Adriana all the happiness in your new home!
Luigi’s on 21st and 5th? If so I would love to see a slice face off between Luigi’s and smileys on 9th n 7th
Great Sandwiches at City Subs !!!!
May be biased (from park slope) but you’re literally in the best neighborhood in all of NYC
Welcome to the Brooklyn bro!
Welcome to Park Slope!
You already know that The Bagel Hole is the best bagel, but it looks like you live in North Slope so that's a bit of a walk. Park Slope is full of Mexican food, but some of the best is Nuevo Mexico on 5th Ave and 12th Street, and then Caza Azul on the corner of 7th Ave and 11th street, they have tons of outdoor seating. Right across from Caza Azul there is a newish cafe (opened during quarantine), with amazing pastries, sandwiches, etc. There is always a line and the breakfast pastries sell out early. Take out only for now. Their BLT is amazing.
Fatty Daddy Tacos on 9th street and 5th Ave is great for delivery or take out.
There is a seasonal soup place (take out only) on 7th Ave and 9th street called The Soup Bowl. Their menu changes every day but they now have a website with the daily menu. Their soups are really good, specially for a cold day's lunch. The other of of the year this place is an Uncle Louie G ice cream shop.
Over in your side of Park Slope, Two Boots has really good pizza that's a bit different to the regular NY pizza. Stone Park Cafe is nice, if pricey, perfect for a date.
I've lived in Park Slope for years but places come and og.
There's no such thing as "North Slope". There's just Park Slope, and it goes from Flatbush to the Prospect Expressway. South of that is Windsor Terrace. "South Slope" is a fallacy invented by realtors so they can sell Windsor Terrace and Greenwood houses at Park Slope prices.
Your food recommendations are pretty on point, though Da Nonna Rossa is *FAR* superior to Two Boots when it comes to pizza.
If you just moved to Brooklyn, my advice is to get on a bike and explore. There are so many nooks and hidden places. Hudson ave in Vinegar Hill is one of my favorites.
Thank for sharing
I loved this video! Your new neighborhood looks so gorgeous and peaceful. How do you and Audri stay so fit being surrounded by all that good food? I need your metabolism lol! I love you and adri's channels thanks for the video!
Just re-joined the gym, i'm not 10% body fat lol.
Welcome to the neighborhood! I love your videos. I'm in South Slope. Hope to bump into you one of these days. In regards to your laundry needs, I highly recommend EZ Laundry. They pick up, wash, fold and drop off your clothes for a great price. We've been using them for years (located on 14/13 street and 4th).
Thanks 🙏🏻
Fifth Avenue it’s the main hotspot around your area. There is so many different restaurants and stores. You have to try The Chocolate Room. Too bad Burger Bistro closed down because of covid. 😔 i also think you guys will love Bogota Latin Bistro. Also the Bagel Store is pretty good and unique and it’s by you as well. It has awesome vibes there. Love this video as alway Jon.
Park slope is a great neighborhood. Hope you find that laundry spot tho, it would be tough in the winter if you have to walk far.
