Which door is the best door?

Message: I need a new door for my hypothetical future Brooklyn townhouse. Which door is the best door? Which one should I get?!

Dear Anonymous,

Doors are fascinating, aren’t they? They can be gateways to our most intimate spaces or barriers to keep others out. What kind of impression do you want to leave — one that invites or one that shoos others away?

Here are some doors I’ve encountered while walking the Brooklyn sidewalks. I hope they can inspire you.

Critter door

Do you have woodland creatures as friends? Then this is for you. Or if you have enemies who hate giant bunnies, then this is for them.

Van Gogh door

If you’re into Van Gogh’s impressionism, then this is for you.

Floral door

A very pretty door, but be careful if you’re allergic to bees. They might frequent your door if you have this one.

Modest door

I like this door. Not too much flair but has lots of intricate details. It’s warm. I want to open it.

Trolley door

Do you like Trolley from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood? Then this door is for you.

Geometric door

If you like lines, this is your door.

Tall door

We have to keep at a distance these days due to the pandemic. So if you only want to see your tall friends through the glass at the top, then this door is for you. And your short friends can still slide some letters in through the mail slot.

Purgatory door

Somehow this strikes me as both as a door leading into a cathedral but also a door to Beelzebub’s quarters. So if you’re riding the fine line of good and evil, this door is for you.

Just knock,
