Well, here's a new one: Today, the Observer has a profile on the neighborhood at the convergence of Windsor Terrace, Prospect Park, and Kensington, which they say is called the "Windsor Knot," aka "the poor man's Park Slope." Observe the Observer:
Windsor Knot is like the less pretentious (and less expensive) version of the Slope. Maybe not quite as upscale and trendy as that redoubt of the carefully hip, with its high-end boutiques and pricey restaurants, but still a good place to raise the kids. And, indeed, we did pass a lot of strollers and family picnics on our walk through the area. It’s a nice slice of suburbia in the City That Never Sleeps.
They don't explain the boundaries of the "area," so I'm not entirely sure what makes up this Windsor Knot. Now, I'm not one to have a problem with providing new names for neighborhoods in New York City, because these names are fluid and have been changing since the Dutch showed up, but I just wanted to check with you guys--they're joking right? You've never heard anyone refer to any part of the area as Windsor Knot, right? And you're not about to start, right?
Okay, good.
