Park Slope is ready for its closeup.
The leafy, brownstone-lined neighborhood, known for its picturesque streets and progressive politics, has been named one of the 10 best in the country by a national urban planning group.
The historic area, just steps from Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, is the only New York City neighborhood to make the first-ever list from the American Planning Association (APA), set to be released today.
“It’s got a lot of past, but it has also evolved and has a lot of vibrancy in the present,” said association spokesman Denny Johnson, citing the area’s architecture and proximity to such cultural spots as the main library.
