5 Films to Match Your Park Slope Love Life




Photo via L MagazineL Magazine recently put together a list of 10 Brooklyn Bars that have appeared on the big screen. Park Slope was only mentioned once -- 5th Avenue's Moutarde doubled for a Paris bistro in Julie & Julia -- but that's OK, because the scene featured the inimitable talents of Meryl Streep and Jane Lynch, whose presence in our fine 'hood alone makes up for it.
When we get bored around these parts, we get nosey. We're too lazy to check your mail, so instead we decided to see what the most popular Netflix movies are in the Slope. You can check out the top 25 here (but only if you get the DVD package. Sorry, streamers). Turns out you aren't just re-watching the Harry Potter series or drooling over Ryan Gosling's abs in Crazy Stupid Love as expected.
The people of Park Slope love nothing more than to get all caught up in pet drama. Remember back in November when a man tied his dog up outside of a Radio Shack for a few minutes, and then some woman stole it because she thought it needed rescuing?’
Imagine a run-in like that sparking an unlikely friendship, which ultimately leads to a movie!
This is exactly what happened to filmmaker Keith Miller, who once found a lost dog in South Park Slope. After a few months of caring for it, he ran into a man on the street named Shannon Harper, who turned out to be the dog's owner. After the two men argued over the pup in question, Keith offered to buy the dog, then asked Harper if he wanted to be in a movie.
