Over the past few years, Bergen between Flatbush and Fifth Avenue has become one of Park Slope’s most vibrant shopping strips, with an independent bookstore, several eateries and a couple of clothing shops. Now two more retailers are about to call the street home. Within the next several months both kiddie-centric Gymboree and adult-centric Toys in Babeland will be opening stores on Bergen, according to Matthew Pintchik. Pintchik is one of the owners of Pintchik Hardware, and his family has invested in the area since 1912. Gymboree will temporarily take the space at the front of Pintchik Hardware on Flatbush and Bergen before it moves into its permanent digs further down the street. Pintchik says that Gymboree’s temporary location is still on the market, and his family is in talks with a number of national retailers who are considering leasing the storefront, including big boys like McDonald’s. We’re not ruling out anyone at this point, though we’ve been trying to create a community with the stores that have leased space on Bergen, says Pintchik. Trader Joe’s, please call me up.

1:22 am – are the kids keeping you up?
6:56 –
What do you do during the week?
1:14 = 7:10
“But I definitely welcome Babeland to counter all the kiddie stuff.” – 4:50
Wait, you’re saying a sex shop COUNTERS kids? Give it nine months after babeland opens… kiddie places everywhere!
7:10, after reading all the others, your post out of the blue made me laugh so hard I think I might have woken up some neighbors. LOL LOLLLL! Too funny! Good shtick and references! Write more!
I got some bad news for you all. Who do you think will be attending all those afternoon dildo demonstrations? Park Slope nannies, that’s who. I give Babes two weeks before it looks like the Tea Lounge.
5:12 and 5:46, don’t be silly – do you think people only like sex toys because their sex lives are totally unsatisfying without them? People like sex toys because no matter how good your sex life already is, there are always more sensations to explore, more ways to get off, more things to experience. If you don’t like sex toys, that’s fine, but don’t imagine that it means you’re doing anything better than anyone else. But congratulations on having satisfying sex lives!
Anyway, welcome to you, Babeland!
My wife and I have a weird thing goin’.
I pretend I’m Marty Markowitz and she’s Randi Weingarden.
Our slave boyfriend, The What , is tied up to a big statue of Atlantic Yards.
It gets kinky from there.
5:46, my guess is your husband is gettin’ some on the side.
