the hood

i am in love. i am in love with brooklyn.

we've been here almost a month now, and i am seriously considering a move to the big city...eventually. i've never been interested in visiting new york, perhaps because of the "touristy" nature of the place. times square, the empire state building, wall street, etc. haven't ever motivated me to come to new york. but, if i had known how cool brooklyn is, i would have visited long, long ago.

i know it's only been a month, but i feel quite comfortable here. i know the lady down at the dry cleaner, the pizza man on the corner, and most of our neighbors. right now, this feels like home. so, ladies and gentlemen, here's the hood.

the street: st. marks place, between 4th and 5th

atlantic station: it's up the block

brooklyn playgrounds are serious business
