One of Park Slope's tree-lined brownstone blocks, Lincoln Place between 6th and 7th Avenues, closes fully to traffic from midday into the evening for its block association's party. Street parties like this are how Brooklyn blocks meet each other: kids take over the asphalt, stoops turn into seating and neighbors trade food. If you're in Park Slope and want an unhurried slice of neighborhood life, stroll by.
What to expect
Expect a car-free block with neighbors mingling in the street, kids playing and residents gathered on stoops. It's a residents' party, not a vendor festival. The organizers haven't published a program, so treat it as a neighborly drop-by rather than a destination with a set lineup.
