No surprise to those of us in the know, but hipster pub The L Magazine notes that Brooklyn Heights 
and Cobble Hill are "the most walkable neighborhoods in Brooklyn," according to a study by Walk Score published on website Slate.
The webbie bases its "walk scores" on the amount and accessibility of amenities, including restaurants, movie theater and schools. New York City is the most walkable out of 50 cities surveyed, with a score of 85.3 out of 100, 
which The L 
Magazine notes was knocked down by "unwalkable" Staten Island.In Brooklyn, Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights had scores of 98. Boerum Hill and Downtown Brooklyn scored 97; DUMBO, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Park Slope tied with 96. The least walkable Brooklyn neighborhoods are all in the south: Bergen Beach with a score of 58; Mill Basin with 62; Gerritsen Beach with 71; Canarsie with 74; and Manhattan Beach and West Brighton at 77. *
