Chcete vědět, jak by to vypadalo, kdyby byl Woody Allen hipster a Sex ve městě napsal on? New York, Brooklyn, Park Slope – tady dnes zakládají rodiny mladí a úspěšní. Nakupují v bioobchodech a na trzích, nosí vintage a samozřejmě rozumí modernímu umění (stačí povrchně – pořád lepší než třeba sledovat baseball a podobné nesmysly, to je přece totálně out). A také se navzájem všichni znají, protože Park Slope je totiž čtvrť vyhlášená rodinným a sousedským prostředím. Až se pro samé kočárky a zahrádky fair trade kaváren skoro nedá projít po chodníku… někdy je tahle „matkárna“ vlastně dost pakárna. Zvlášť když se vám momentálně moc nedaří tak, jako třeba Rebece s Theem nebo Sísí s Gottliebem. Nebo Meloře. A Karen. A vlastně ani u Marka to není žádná sláva…
