Best way to meet people in Park Slope?

brooklyniansignup

I'm somewhat new to Park Slope and mostly know people from my school. It'd be refreshing to have a greater variety of contacts in the area.

Any suggestions?

Brooklynian has occasional bar crawls, bike rides, and other in- person activities. You'll meet a variety of strange and/or wonderful people from the Slope, Prospect Heights, and nearby nabes.

The last one we did was in Crown Heights.

Join the Park Slope Food Coop. You will be required to meet a lot of different people.

MOD

Go to community events,

if you like gardening ->there's the PS community garden,

like to read or write --> go to the book readings at the local bookstores and cafe's..

Check out events at the Bellhouse (they have cooking contests too) or Lyceum (lots of stuff going on there -including a nice cafe), Don't forget BAM <--lots going on there

Like to drink? --> check out Freddy's, Sharlene's, Pacific Standard, Cherry Tree... they all have trivia nights (just join a team that needs a partner), karaoke, NFL/MBA.

Like to workout? The YMCA or Body Reserve have group classes and I've made friends that way too.

Have a dog? or a friend with a dog? Go to off leash hours at Prospect Park.. you'll meet lots of people.

Want to learn to knit? There's a member YarnMonkey that posts knitting events here (and yes, men do knit!)

In general, become a regular at some place, take some fun classes, go to museum events, just don't be shy.
