Best of Park Slope
Yavel's list:
Best Loaf - Lopez Bakery - 5th ave bet 18 th and 19th St. The bread is very good and cheap. I always get the 7 grain. They make a nice loaf, but stay away from the pastry. The bread is baked fresh every day, but the other stuff tends to be stale. Haven't tried the tamales yet.
Bakery - Two Little Red Hens - 8th Ave. They're expensive, but so good.
Bodega/small grocer - La Dolce Vita - 7th Ave - Clean store and nice owner, also has a good beer selection
Toy Store - Toy Space on 7th ave around 13th - Nice selection of toys, if a bit overpriced. This place has saved me on a few occasions when I had to get a quick gift for a kid. There's also a place on 5th ave, but I can't remember the name.
Children's Shoes - Windsor Shoes - Prospect Park West - The staff is very helpful and they have a good selection.
Pizza - Pino's La Forchetta - 7th Ave - classic pizza joint
Coffee Shop - 6th ave and 12th St - Red Horse Cafe - good coffee and not crowded
Sandwich shop - Pollios - 5th Ave - Good hoagies and specialty foods. It has a nice, neighborhood feel.

From the New York Times: "On a still-industrial strip of Fourth Avenue, just beyond the leafy residential quiet of Park Slope, this welcoming bi-level club is both bar and clubhouse, populated by diverse crowds of lesbians and their friends. The welcoming space is bigger and more polished than owner Brooke Webster's previous venture, the now-defunct Houston Street dive Meow Mix..."
