OTBKB Founder Louise Crawford Loves 3rd St, 5th Ave, and Local Style

Neighbor, blogger, and all-around Park Slope powerhouse Louise Crawford did a Q&A for Brick Underground’s Confessions of a Neighborhood Blogger series, where she shares some of her favorite things about the neighborhood.

Her top block: 3rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. Her favorite things about living here: “I love the scale, the architecture, the sense of community, Fifth Avenue, many of the shops and restaurants, the nearby cultural institutions and the park.”

But what do people always get wrong about Park Slope?

The idea that Park Slopers lack style is a misconception. Sure, people are comfortable enough around here not to dress up to go out on Seventh Avenue, but there are stylish people here and Bird (maybe one of the best fashion shops in the City) started in Park Slope. And was recently voted Best Woman’s Boutique in New York City by New York Magazine and Top Visionary Boutique in the U.S. by Lucky.
