We took a ride over the weekend up the Brooklyn Greenway through Dumbo and the Navy Yard to Greenpoint for the first time. The ride itself is lovely until you reach the end of Dumbo then at times you feel like you are in an industrial wasteland but it only took about 45 minutes from […]
I still remember sitting on the Brooklyn Promenade 10 years ago looking at the abandoned piers and early stages of construction below wondering what the space would become.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is always evolving. Some of you may be going to enjoy this wide expansive space on this gorgeous day! When it first opened we remember going every once in a while and usually seeing something new as the piers opened one by one. Most recently it was the Pier 5 uplands, which […]

Over the winter we saw renovations in the early stages on the corner of 9th Street and 6th Ave right next to the Park Slope Library. Signs announced that we’d be getting a new garden in the spring time. The time has arrived and what a quaint and sweet little garden we now have! It […]

The green space is beautiful and, taking a quiet walk around the historic cemetery, one is sure to be inspired to snap some lovely photos. For anyone who hasn’t been […]
