An Evening for Our Oceans

By

On Tuesday, April 12 (date updated), Park Slope’s applewood will host “An Evening for Our Oceans,” a charity event to raise awareness about the problems facing our oceans and promote more sustainable fish options. The evening will include a cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres and a four-course dinner based on wild fish caught in ways that don’t harm marine ecosystems. Greg Yagoda, organizer and educator, answered a few questions for us about his inspiration for the event.

Nevermind the Babies, Here’s Park Slope

By

We’ve heard all the jokes before: The sidewalks are so clogged with strollers that they’ve become impassible. Bars are about as hip as a windbreaker, are perpetually overrun by the under-5 contingent, and you’ll be shushed if you curse in public. There are no restaurants other than high-chair strewn pizza parlors, making it ludicrous for North Brooklynites to bother leaving their adult environs and subject themselves to the mercurial whims of the F train. Wary travelers take note – there’s a lot more to Park Slope than Gerber Organic.
