Slopers...we need you!

Myself and a mate are 2 24yr old males coming to NYC from England in March for 4 nights. We%26#39;ve been before and have seen the sights, so this time we%26#39;re coming over to check out the nightlife! Park Slope has been recommended to us as a great night out, but we dont want to stand out from the crowd as being tourists (until we open our mouths!). With that in mind, we are wondering what to wear on a night out on the slope...anyone help?

Slopers...we need you!

Dress in Park Slope in the evening is from extremely laid back, i.e. jeans. sneakers. t-shirt. etc up to what we call here dressy casual - upscale jeans or slacks, shirt w/collar. sweater, even a sports coat.

In general, the bars and clubs in Park Slope do not have the same door policies as those in Manhattan, with the exception of Bar 4.

Here%26#39;s a partial list of places...

Bar 4: Swanky lounge with a crowd and door policy that are very much Manhattan. 444 Seventh Ave. at 15th St.; 718-832-9800

Bar Reis: With its extensive selection, this wine bar is an ideal spot for oenophiles.

375 Fifth Ave. between 5th and 6th Sts.; 718-832-5716

Southpaw: A rock-n-roll music haven right in the heart of family-centric Park Slope. 125 Fifth Ave. between St. John%26#39;s and Sterling Plcs.; 718-230-0236 or Southpaw

The Gate: Al fresco drinking for fans of beer, bluster and brownstone views.
