[My Favorite Park Slope...]: Brownstone

My favorite Park Slope brownstone is the Pepto House.

I'm from Bensonhurst, and though I love being from there (most people from BHurst do), it just doesn't have that much to offer two twenty-somethings that are crazy about each other. My girlfriend moved to Park Slope at the beginning of summer and since then we've been loving everything about the neighborhood. In a short amount of time we've covered a great portion of PS, and one of our favorite discoveries is this large brownstone slathered in this Pepto Bismol pink paint on Garfield.

The first time we saw it, we stopped to gawk and I said, "We've reach the clit of Park Slope." A fitting comment: tucked away, off the beaten path and found only by accident. It's silly. Well, that off-color, little nothing of a saying sent my girlfriend and I into hysterics and we always smile upon it's approach.
