    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.

    Pro:"I would conservatively estimate that I save a couple grand a year, probably more, shopping at the co-op ... I'm not a political fanatic. In fact, I don't even particularly care about the environment. I just like fancy food and good produce and am cheap." (--linusvanpelt)

    More Hating on the Park Slope Food Co-op

    The Park Slope Food Co-op is quite a high-profile target these days. On Gothamist, Phoebe Maltz claims that it is "taboo to insult the Park Slope Food Co-op. Even if you are not a member, you are supposed to understand that joining is both a good deal and—more importantly—a progressive act."

    "I happen to believe it is neither, and have already made this semi-public by writing about it on my semi-read blog. If revealing this to a larger audience means I will be banished to, say, a townhouse in the West Village, so be it." Read more...

    Key Foods: Roach/Rat Sanctuary CANNED

    From Dope on the Slope: "Kudos to Key Food for replacing the aromatic array of garbage bags that made the south side of Carroll Street [and 7th] a fly, rat and roach sanctuary with a fresh flower market."

    "Key Foods is a regional grocer, with several stores in Brooklyn. Does this new line of business make them a 'daisy chain?'"

    Ouch.

    Park Slope Food Co-op: "Please Don't Paw the Persimmons"

    From the New York Sun via Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn: "The Park Slope Food Co-Op is thought by many to be a terrifying place, a netherworld of rules and suspensions and withering stares if you forget to bring your own biodegradable shopping bag. The one time I'd gone there, as somebody's guest, when I reached out to pick up a persimmon only to be scolded by a dutiful member, who must have been following me through the aisles the whole time. "Excuse me," she said. "Guests aren't allowed to handle the produce."

    Richard, leader of a recent Sunday afternoon orientation session, was so determined to present the Co-Op's gentler side that he had set up a table with organic treats such as carrots and humus and peach nectar for 30 prospective members. Before getting into anything as off-putting as regulations or free-range ethics, he started off the meeting by telling us how much the Co-Op has improved his life. "My ingestion has really changed," he said. "I'm juicing now!" Read the full text of this article...
