I was born and raised in Park Slope but if you ask the old timers I was born in South Brooklyn - Gowanus and if you ask the hipsters now its the South Slope or Greenwood Heights. Where does Sunset begin? The Map on the right hand navigation shows community board 7 but like most of NYC a community board can represent several communities. As a native I understand that as neighborhoods ebb and flow names change like the waves of people that move in. I just cant understand for the life for me why anyone would think that Sunset Park begins on 15th Street when the post office( 11215 ends around 25th st), business improvement district, and neighborhood people refer to that area as Park Slope? I'm sure 10 years from now the area from 15th street to 39th Street will be Greenwood Heights considering the it is the bastard child of the "Park" neighborhoods. Where Sunset begins is up for debate but I say it runs from 39th Street where they hang the Holiday sign welcoming everyone to Sunset and ends around 60th Street in Bay Ridge. Now where Bay Ridge begins and ends is another story.
