Directions:

The bookstore is located in the heart of Park Slope at 143 Seventh Avenue, between Carroll & Garfield Streets. That’s roughly opposite Key Foods.

Map: Remind me to Add this. I stole a nice map off someone else’s site.

To get here by Subway:

Take the F train to the 7th Avenue stop.
You’ll have to walk 10 blocks, but they’re short. You come out on 9th Street. Garfield (the nearer of our cross streets) is the first named street after the numbered streets give out, so make sure the street numbers are going down as you walk along 7th Avenue. (Here’s a tip: To head off in the right direction down 7th Avenue, just orient yourself so that uphill is on your right-hand side. This ought to leave downhill on your left, assuming the universe is still functioning in the normal way. Strike out boldly, with the confident air of a born & bred Brooklynite.) If for some reason you got on the front of the train in Manhattan, you may come up on 8th Avenue instead of 7th Avenue, but just head downhill (handy thing, the slope of the Slope) to 7th and then turn right on 7th and walk those 10 blocks (like I said, they’re short). It’s about a seven minute walk, depending on how sprightly your pace is.

Take the 2 or the 3 to the Grand Army Plaza stop.
This will pop you out on Flatbush. On any one of four corners of the intersection. Don’t worry. Just orient yourself to be facing downhill. If you’re on the right-hand side of Flatbush, cross over to the left. Walk downhill, and the first turn to your left (about 10 steps, really) is the beginning of 7th Avenue. Turn left on 7th and walk about 8 blocks to Carroll. At the risk of being repetitive, we’re on 7th Avenue, between Carroll and Garfield. It’ll take you about five minutes to walk to the store.

Take the B or the Q to the 7th Avenue stop.
You will come out at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue and 7th Ave. Facing downhill, you want to be on the left side of Flatbush. Walk down 7th Avenue about seven blocks. We’re in between Carroll and Garfield, on the left-hand side of 7th Avenue. Walking time here is about five minutes.

Take the M or the R to the Union Street stop.
When you walk upstairs you’ll be at the intersection of Union and 4th Ave. If you are coming from the direction of Manhattan, walk across 4th Avenue and carry on up Union Street. If you are coming the opposite way, just walk up Union Street. Either way, when you get to 7th Avenue, turn right. We are between Carroll and Garfield, and you’ll want to be on the left side of the Avenue. Walking time here is about ten minutes.

Buses:

Buses are beyond me, but I think the B67 stops on our block. Link to mta site?

If you’re driving:

The easiest thing is to get yourself onto Flatbush Avenue. I don’t know which direction you’re coming from, but the turn onto 7th Avenue is (following the slope of the Slope) below Prospect Park’s Grand Army Plaza and above the intersection with Atlantic Avenue. 7th Avenue begins (or ends, depending on how you’re looking at it) at Flatbush, so just turn onto it. You can’t really go wrong. Carroll Street (the nearer of our cross streets) is about 8 blocks from the beginning of 7th Avenue. Please be aware – parking can be a doozie, and the meter maids are savage.

You’re on your own. Didn’t your mother warn you about this sort of thing?
