A Brooklyn Weekend

Hmm, I guess I haven't been posting much, and definitely not about anything other than our vacation which was now more than a month ago. This week was thankfully pretty low key. There was a show at BAM on Friday night, an interesting dance/film combination, and followed it by dinner at 67 Burger - very tasty burgers and fries!

Then yesterday, after laundry and lazing around in the morning, we took a monster walk around Brooklyn. Down to Myrtle to visit the post office, and then down Myrtle to stop by my friend Brian's new wine shop, Gnarly Vines. I was there on Thursday for the grand opening party, but it was so packed in there that I didn't have a chance to really look around. On Saturday, there were only a few people in the shop so Brian was able to give us some good recommendations. And best of all, there is free delivery, and even though we weren't heading home, they were nice enough to deliver today instead. We continued to walk down Myrtle, browsing through some of the new shops, and then walked over to Smith Street (past the installation of a very sparse looking Christmas tree in Metrotech) and looked around a bit before heading over to the Cobble Hill Cinema to watch Gone Baby Gone. After the movie, which was really masterful, Sam was craving Mexican food, so we checked out Lobo, on Court St, before heading home.

Today, we ventured outside for breakfast at Choice Market, but mostly sat around reading the paper and doing things like going through the mail. The weeks have been so busy lately that its nice to have the relaxing weekends to have some real down time.
