They're all going to get hit by turning garbage trucks.

omg, do it in Washington Heights! It's like the new West Village! They could go to frat parties at Yeshiva University and drunkenly eat Dominican food all night! What a life...

dear veeelchop, "jen chung r a fox." married fox, to be sure. all your base r belong to us. i love brooklyn, but not because of this. my bets for non-manhattan visits (in no particular order): - wmsburg, that whole street of douchebaggery known as bedford - gowanus yacht club - cherry tree in/around park slope (if they can stay open) - habana outpost in fort greene - my bedroom (the hot, trashy white chick)

Tonight on The Real World: Park Slope - Kimberlee and D!-Moz argue over which jogging stroller they should buy! Meanwhile Kaieesha and Ashton and attend a community board meeting to contest a liquor license renewal!

to jen chung u a fox and brooklyn, like new york city manhattan, is the story of the immigrants. in this case its just west coast casting. i think downtown is a very cool spot. urban but not the city, multi ethnic to the maxxy maximumum. brooklyn house of D, fresh pitas and bam and the motor vehicles office to pay the inevitable parking tickets.; I foresee a sequence with quick, teary eyed or drunken dramatic wander on the streets to the promenade. pretty spectacular location. and then there's FLATBUSH

I once accidentally stayed on the Q train 5 stops past park slope and got off and was scared shitless!!!!! East new York is not cool.

Definitely the McKibbin Lofts. But first, they need to get a really bad urinary tract infection started there. Shouldn't be too difficult given the "shared" ammenities.

these people will have someone drive them everywhere. It doesnt matter what the surrounding area looks like. also every city they have ever filmed has some nasty ghetto areas so saying they should film in ENY is sophomoric at best

I second Meowster's comment as winner of this thread. Just find a place in Williamsburg and get this over with. Downtown Brooklyn is a ghost town at night, which means either you take the train to Manhattan or you walk in the heat to Smith St., hopefully not ending up in a mediocre bar/restaurant .

Holydriver, I second that motion. Also the entire cast needs to be as pale as possible. I would definitely watch that.

Please, please, please film it in East New York. I'd watch that.

This would be a great publicity push forward if they could get the cast to move into the top floor of the Jails with Condos/Brooklyn House of D.

Skip Brooklyn, I agree with whoever said to film in Hoboken. The Real World cast will blend right in with all the drunks and frat boys that already populate the area...

The rumor last year was that they were scouting the McKibbin lofts, so that's a possibility!

They should hole them up in the McKibbin lofts.

I think people are secretly worried about the health of these kids who will go on the show--you know, some crazy confrontations and many trips to Kings County during this season.
