Wednesdays Are For Beers And Reading

Skylark in Park Slope, Brooklyn.Skylark

Last night I found myself sitting at the bar at Skylark, drinking a beer and reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Something I should be doing a lot more. The bar was empty except for the owner and her friends and a couple sitting at a table near the door. The speakers were playing some upbeaty music but definitely fine for reading my digital book at the corner of the bar.

I had a dream. I had a dream that one day I'll open a bar, a quiet bar where people can have normal conversations (or even read) without having to yell.

Sundays Are For Being Outdoors

Lonestar Taco Holy....sh*t, it was a beautiful day yesterday. I'm usually not the one that get so thrilled about a good weather (with breeze and fluffy clouds) day but yesterday was just too damn nice to NOT be outside. Also my friends at Lonestar Taco had tweeted about their fish taco special. Who doesn't like fish tacos!? Fish tacos here I come!....also plus a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge for Smorgas/DUMBO.

Lonestar Taco Fluke a la plancha with salsa verde and mixed chili marmalade. Amazing! I also got a bean and cheese taco. Just beans and cheese, you ask? Yes. Lonestar Taco does great stuff to their beans so they're not just some ordinary beans.

Occupy Wall St Skywriting While walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, a lot of us noticed a plane was doing skywriting. I had to snap this photo because the plane skywrote #occupywallst RIGHT OVER Wall St.

Brooklyn Bridge Park/Smorgasburg Made it. Besides on the waterfront in Williamsburg, Smorgasburg is now also in the Tobacco Warehouse in DUMBO on Sundays. No more having to trek out to Williamsburg.
