January 21, 2008: Looking North Towards DUMBO

Well, we've moved. The new place is at the Northern edge of Brooklyn Heights, where the streets are all named after fruits-- Orange, Pineapple, Cranberry. I've taken to calling it Berry Hook. We're loving the new neighborhood-- unlike downtown, where we were surrounded almost exclusively by high-priced clothing stores we never patronized, here we're surrounded by restaurants and stores that we'd actually use-- groceries, pet supply shops, dry cleaners, etc. It's amazing-- everything, including the subway, is less than a block away. I'll tell you more about the apartment later on-- but suffice to say, it's got some pretty good views.
Fabulous! Welcome back to Brooklyn.
