Grimaldi’s pizza. Prospect Park. More space for the kiddies. After birthing babies there’s just no way to avoid a conversation about Brooklyn.

If you’re not ready for the 718 just yet, ease into it with an original print by local artist Jim Datz.

Each of his limited-edition posters features playful illustrations of Brooklyn’s neighborhood highlights — from Bushwick to Brighton Beach, Cobble Hill to Red Hook — with a classic Coney Island hot dog stand thrown in for good measure.

Area names and landmarks are strung between two buildings on an imaginary clothesline that lends the scene a playful, urban vibe. So each time you look at it, you can slowly warm up to the idea of leaving the island.

Without losing any of your cool.

Available at the Brooklyn Flea, Saturday, June 6, Lafayette Avenue, between Clermont and Vanderbilt Avenues, Fort Greene; online at threepotatofourshop.com.
