The Brownstone Brooklyn Bugaboo has made it all the way to CNN. Today the news source touches down on the touchy subject of Brooklyn parents bringing babies to bars. Nothing that hasn't been covered here before, though they sum up the debate through the words of a 26-year-old single woman and a stay-at-home dad, both from the borough.
Babies In Brooklyn Bars Debate Goes National
Trend Alert: Mommy Rage!
If you think getting stuck behind a stroller being carried up subway stairs is annoying, then just wait til you hear how annoyed the person lugging around that stroller is at you. The tables are turning! One mom takes to the pages of Metro to vent about non-breeders and her own self-described "mommy rage." Playing chicken with a double stroller just got serious.
Are Park Slope Parents Killing the Romance?
The stroller wars continue in Park Slope, and the frontline has moved from the sidewalk to the classy little romantic Italian restaurants, where everyone's a cry baby!
Old man Loffredo recently paid a visit to the neighborhood's fairly new establishment, Provini, where he was encountered with a great wine list and a healthy portion of the "You'll never get to be an adult in Park Slope without tolerating my kids" crowd. Not a very good pairing! Indeed, one toddler even broke a wine glass in his presence; behavior that garnered eye rolls from the waitstaff and should clearly be reserved for less fancy pants places. Take it Chuck E. Cheese stroller pushers!
Brooklyn Restaurant's Stroller Solution

But could there now be a light at the end of the tunnel? The Brooklyn Paper is reporting on a possible solution, at least at Water Street Restaurant in DUMBO.
Rules for the Stroller Set
Another Park Slope blogger is pushing the stroller feud even further with a post on stroller rules (featuring illustrations!). This particular "prammer" states: "there are enough jerks out there to give us all a bad name. To combat these sidewalk simpletons, I propose the following pramming penalties be implemented immediately."
