According to L Magazine, this is what our streets look like. Lay off the acid, hippies... (Source: thelmagazine.com)

The scribes over at L Magazine – who definitely know how to write a [good “Best of” list](/sheepshead-bites-named-best-local-blog/) – just compiled their list of [50 Best Blocks In Brooklyn](http://www.thelmagazine.com/gyrobase/the-50-best-blocks-in-brooklyn/Content?oid=1792395&storyPage=4&ref=bklyner.com). Like the rest of the city’s media, they overlooked Southern Brooklyn. Just two blocks made it onto their list:

> 9\. Best Block For Low-Brow Entertainment  
> The Boardwalk between Stillwell and 10th Streets, Coney Island  
> Shoot the Freak, Ruby’s and Cha Cha’s, two amusement parks, and a handful of places to buy greasy fries and Budweiser. You’re welcome.

> 27\. Best Block For Wildlife  
> Shore Parkway between Bay 44th and Bay 56th Streets, Gravesend  
> This big-ass block is otherwise known as Calvert Vaux Park, a south Brooklyn shoreline destination for the borough’s birders.

But we know Southern Brooklyn has some great blocks. How about Emmons Avenue, the best block “[where there is water and \[you\] can walk around pointlessely, spitting seeds and talking shit about fat relatives and friends.](/going-to-sheepshead-bay-nah-its-the-canal/)”

Or [Voorhies Avenue near East 28th Street](/tag/2812-voorhies-ave/), the best place to witness a hate crime neighbors will describe as road rage?

East 17th Street between Avenue U to Avenue Z, the [best place to shatter your car’s axle](http://disq.us/oyo2g?ref=bklyner.com) going a measly 25 miles-per-hour?

Over in Gravesend, there’s Avenue V and West 11th Street, the best block on which to [buy a condo if you want to see your property value go nowhere](/gravesends-latest-condo-keeps-it-unreal/).

We’ve got loads of great blocks in and around Sheepshead Bay, not to mention the rest of Brooklyn. So, L Magazine, you wags… what the hell?

You know, I’m guessing it’s just that you don’t know our area too well. Why don’t you come down here, and we’ll take a walk to [Sheepshead Bay’s prime hipster hangouts](/tag/nostrand-houses/)?
