Day in Brooklyn

This weekend I had a wonderful time in Brooklyn, more specifically, in Forte Greene, Clinton Hill, and Park Slope.

Our first stop was the Forte Greene Brooklyn Flea Market. I thought it was going to be HUGE like les puces in Paris, but what I got was an assortment of stands in a school parking lot. Found these gems:
Then we proceeded to walk around and kill time before going to a BBQ. While walking we did find Waldo:
So, that wasn't too bad.

We also went to this French bakery called Choice. it's an amazing little place that's full of delicious treats I wanted so badly to eat, but I restrained myself. Kudos, me. However, last night I just saw Ted Allen talk about a great BLT at Choice -- so I have to go back for my love of Ted Allen and my love of BLTs.

So the BBQ -- that was tasty and fun. I was surrounded by people older than me, which is fine, but it meant I was holding a lot of conversation with my +1 and trying to hang out with the 21-month olds.

What we ate:
(no, we didn't eat the iPod.)

Afterwards we were graced by a beautiful rainbow on our way back to the C train to come back to Manhattan. Grrrr...Manhattan.

I'll forever remember this day as the day I flirted with Brooklyn and took the first step in falling in love.
