The L Magazine just posted its best Brooklyn blocks. I was on the lookout for one near my home and found it at 23. Best Block for Wild Parties
Morgan Ave between Maujer and ?Scholes Streets
3rd Ward, House of Yes, Rubulad: trapeze artists and homemade absinthe do, in fact, mix.
This is indeed a good block for crazy parties, and is where I intend to spend my Halloween. And just one block away, the L was kind enough to name Meserole St., Best Block for Urban Detrital Discoveries (by day), Lynchian Encounters with the Unheimlich (by evening), and Profound Malaise Bordering on Fear (by night. Best Block for Street Art was also nearby.
Certainly there were many of the best blocks that were in Williamsburg (cheap eats, drinking, dive bars, classy bars, and coffee), as is to be expected by a magazine of the L’s demographic. But that’s forgivable. Their five best blocks to live on include a nice smattering of neighborhoods besides Williamsburg, such as Greenpoint, Ditmas Park, Brooklyn Heights, and Cobble Hill. Their props for best gallery hopping went to Dumbo, and as you can see for yourself, all of the other rankings are fairly accurate.
