Carolyn picked me up where I was staying and we set off to explore Brooklyn. Have I ever had breakfast at a Ukranian/Jewish restaurant? I was was pretty sure that was a no.
We had blintzes and dumplings and funny conversations with a Ukranian waitress!
It was a Sunday and we passed a beautiful church so we stopped in for peek. Much to Carolyn's chagrin, lighting a candle no longer requires a match!
We happened on the Atlantic Antic which is a bit like Pioneer Days in Fort Worth with a Brooklyn accent! Instead of cowboys it was Tony Soprano!
I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to see Flatbush Ave. I remembered a lot of movies about the 50s involving that street. Carolyn thought it was a negative. No just retro. It was from my time.
Brooklyn is many times bigger than Manhattan. I had a great time and really appreciate Carolyn taking out a day of her time to make that happen. The next time someone says something to me about Facebook being a waste of time, I'll smile and remember this day.
Thanks, Carolyn!
