Welcome to the Park Slope Reader. Living in or around our great Prospect Park, in the communities of the Park Slope, Prospect Heights and Windsor Terrace, is kind of like living in a small town where people know their neighbors and where most of the merchants and those who offer services live locally. We work in partnership with businesses and individuals in our neighborhood to help create a higher level of visibility and awareness about whom they are and what they have to offer. We think doing business is easier and ultimately more gratifying for all involved if the buyer and seller know each other and have an ongoing relationship.

Our approach is to put our energy and resources into creating the best possible community journal four times a year. Every three months the information is renewed and expanded, and its free distribution extended into more locations in and around the neighborhood.

What we have here together is not simply a journal or a magazine but a voice and and face for our community, which is ultimately good for business.

We appreciate your interest in the Park Slope Reader and look forward to giving you the full benefit of our knowledge and experience to help you tap into our strong and dynamic readership, helping your business grow and reach its fullest potential.

By advertising in the Reader, you are investing in your community. Our readers will appreciate it and so will you. Let us know if we can answer any questions you may have.
