5th Ave seen through a goldfish bowl
While brunch in Park Slope may not be quite as chic as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Brooklyn's laid-back, quirky Fifth Avenue can definitely give her glossy Manhattan counterpart a run for your money. Whether you're looking to pimp your pup, make-over your grubby children or just blend in with the organic, artisan-crafted, fairly-traded locals, there's a whole load of achingly charming little shops for you to explore. Start your shopping adventure at Atlantic/Pacific, then head south down 5th Avenue until your feet or your wallet give up on you. Since shopping's thirsty work, make sure you factor in time to stop for a cheeky pint or two at one of the lively bars and ethnic restaurants en route, where you can look over your bargains and congratulate yourself on having escaped the Midtown hoards. Cheers!
