    Dyker Heights, around 13th Ave and 82nd St
    or (closer by) Carroll Gardens, Union St and surrounds

    Here's a sad tale of a woman taking pictures of santa in greenpoint . . .

    Not really Park Slope, but in years past, I've seen some very nice light displays on President Street off of Smith. The people that live in those brownstones really go all out.

    Also I've seen some lights while on the Coney Isl bound F train right when the train begins to surface after Carroll, probably somewhere around 3rd or 4th place, right off of Smith Street.

    Also not really Park Slope, but there is also a house on Prospect Ave (btwn PPW and 8th, closer to PPW) that gets the royal treatment every year. They've got this GIGANTIC (3 story tall) pine tree doused in big colorful bulbs, the kind my Grams used to have. I love it!

    Dyker Heights is the way to go. 12th, 13th Avenue in the 80s-you will be amazed!

    The display in Mill Basin is extraordinaire. Many houses owned by contractors with bucks who do house and lawn displays that are totally amazing. Dyker Heights is more popular but trust me Mill basin is worth the ride, too.
