Park Slope residents are all too familiar with the tension between those who view the neighborhood as an ideal urban oasis and those who view it as a "yuppie disaster". The issue will literally take center stage next Tuesday, March 15th at the Museum of the City of New York at a discussion called The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn.
Moderated by author Suleiman Osman, a panel featuring Eric Demby, co-founder of Brooklyn Flea; D. Kenneth Patton, former divisional dean of the NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate; Amy Sohn, author of Prospect Park West (Simon & Schuster, 2009); and Michelle de la Uz, executive director of the Fifth Avenue Committee will explore "the racial and economic fault lines in the pro-urban ideal and the contested meaning of Brooklyn."
Interested? Reservations are required and the cost is $12 for non-members of the Museum. However, mention ALL ABOUT FIFTH while reserving tickets and you'll save $6!
Tickets: 917-492-3395 or programs@mcny.org
