Exiting the subway, 7th Avenue

It’s Good Friday, so more people are out on the sidewalk than usual in lovely Park Slope. The moody teen, woman with a dog, and striped shirt with meathook could be anywhere. But unless you know the Smiling Pizza corner, you might need a key: there’s a police van parked across from the ice cream shop (blue awning) and stationer. The nearby crepe store has good coffee, because this is neighborhood that knows and cares about caffeine.
