Kinara Indian Restaurant
One of my 2 favorite Indian restaurants on 5th Avenue. Kinara went thru some struggles when the NYC restaurant grading system came about, but eventually they got their "A".

The 2 way bike lane on Prospect Park West, which marks the South-East edge of the neighborhood.
Rare early November snow in NYC, one week after "post-tropical-cyclone" Sandy passed by. Impossible not to think about all the people who lost their homes during Sandy, now having to deal with this. Park Slope was one of the lucky neighborhoods that didn't suffer much, but it's still hard to see this cold weather creep into an injured city.
This is a pre-Sandy photo, but there are still lots of trees with green leaves on them after the storm, so there's still a good chance for a beautiful fall season.

Gorgeous September sky. Manhattan skyline with the still unfinished World Trade Center Tower. Viewed from 12th Street.
The new Barklays Center, seen from the north end of 5th Avenue. Opened last Friday Sept 21st, 2012. This marks one of the northern edges of the neighborhood. Some people like it, a lot of people hate it. I wish it wasn't there, but it is what it is. It'll be interesting to see how this part of the neighborhood evolves around it.

My favorite bicycle store in the Slope. Corner of 6th Ave & 9th Street. Knowledgable yet not arrogant or condescending, which seems common in nyc bike stores. Nice people run this place. Plus, this red building is kind of beautiful.
