Cobble Hill is a fun place to hang out once in a while. It’s as if Park Slope’s 5th Avenue were expanded into a whole neighborhood. Very gentrified, very pricey, but a good once-in-a-while place to go hang out and get coffee or a beer. Great restaurants too, and the Cobble Hill Cinema usually has a cool mix of mainstream and independent movies. The brownstones around there are all beautiful, too.Danny L
Wrong. I’ve lived in both, and had to escape Park Slope when it was getting too crowded to live in Cobble Hill. Never looked back. Better restaurants, better shops, better vibe. Plus, I cut my subway commute to Manhattan by 20 minutes.Take away the park, and there is no other reason to live in Park Slope.Erick S.
I agree that cobble hill is more chill than Park Slope—the smaller stroller to person ratio helps as well. Dinner here at watty and meg + movie and cobble hill cinemas = cute delicious eveningAlex
