I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Brownstones everywhere. Excellent mix of natives, young families and young single transplants. Very close, friendly neighborhood feel, while still feeling like NY. Both Smith and Court streets are full of food and shopping. Good restaurants, excellent pizza (Lucali's is the best pizza I've ever had. Period.) It's pretty quiet during the day, although sometimes there can be a bit too many strollers. Excellent nightlife. Smith St has some of the best bars - Brooklyn Social, Bar Great Harry, etc.. During the summer you have to go to the Gowanus Yacht Club for cheep food and booze in the sun, with a fun but no BS staff. Over on Court St, Abilene is pretty much my favorite bar ever.

Definitely my favorite neighborhood in all of NY. If I didn't live here, I'd still come back as often as possible to hang out.
