Prospect Lefferts Gardens is a small and quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn bordering the east side of Prospect Park. The area boasts a lush historic district and has been rapidly changing in the two years we've lived here; quite a few of our favorite spots in PLG only just opened their doors within the past year.
The central meadow in Prospect Park is our favorite place to relax on the weekends. Enter from the Lincoln Road entrance to the park, go under the Cleft Ridge Span and over the Lullwater Bridge past the Boathouse to find it; it even has the cooolest name "Neathermead" (him). It's usually less crowded than the more popular Long Meadow, and from the center of Nethermead you can't see any buildings—it's a great escape.
