the wilds of Red Hook
Last Sunday* TS and I took Babs out for a final spin around Brooklyn to see some neighborhoods that we dont normally see (ie, not Park Slope). I have to say I was less than impressed with most of them, but when we crossed into southwestern BK, it was like entering an entirely new city. First it was really run down, then it seemed like there were hippies riding their bikes everywhere on actual cobble streets, then we found a tuti-fruity organic grocery (Fairway?) that actually let you take your buggie out to your car (as opposed to C-town, my usual grocery store that has tall gates all around the exit). Then amoung t
he stoic looking ex-warehouses/factories? not too far from a Princess Cruise docking location, was a tiny little pie place, selling key lime pies. Various sizes of key lime pies, but only key lime pies. As TS and I nibbled on a chunk of pie on a stick (and then chocolate dipped!) we walked around the warehouse to a luxuriant and lively bucket garden on the dock, finding the most beautiful view of Lady Liberty I've seen.
With the tang of lime still on out tongues, we wondered at a city with so many nooks and cranies.
*after a very tasty brunch with CR and S (I had green eggs and ham!)
