Of the many spectacles New York City has to offer, the complaining Park Sloper has a particular charm to us. Be they bitching about a bar's rap music, tots peeing in Prospect Park, nannies working their boss's shifts at the Coop, or partially naked people in posters, they never cease to amuse (PPW bike lane debate aside). To that end, today FIPS has an awesome post on things they feel Park Slope businesses can do to better mollify their persnickety neighbors. Big things like, why don't more places bring your orders to the front door so you don't have to bring your dog inside and how come La Bagel Delight only offers fresh squeezed OJ on the weekends. Also, why does only Bagel Market sell mini-bagels?
And that is just the start. Other suggestions for how businesses in the Slope could better serve their people include asking Tea Lounge to redo their bathroom and fix their cupcake recipe, asking S'nice and Ozzie's baristas to be nicer, asking Key Food to be cheaper, asking Rite Aid to open more registers at any given time, asking places (any places!) to stay open later, and asking La Bagel Delight to bring back the low-fat tuna salad. Also? Apparently Park Slope suffers from a dearth of dude stores and salad shops. And the FIPS folks would appreciate it if someone would get on that, stat?
Oh Park Slope, you make us so happy sometimes.
