A Day in Brooklyn

Hello everyone,
Well it looks like I am the only one still updating this site. I shall have to get on those boys, because I know they have some good stories to tell!!!
Well this past weekend my friends and I went to Brooklyn on Saturday. We took the subway to Prospect Park which is absolutely wonderful. I say it is a smaller central park, but in some sense nicer because you don't have as many tourist and vehicles around it. When we got to the entrance there was a small flea market going on so we walked through that and bought some fruit. From there we began walking toward the lake with in it. A couple of my friends wanted to go paddle boating. So as they did that the rest of us walked around the lake and found a nice lawn to take a nap on. After that we left the park and walked straight out onto 16th street, which is actually the street where my Opa grew up. So literally about 2 blocks away from the park we found his house. It was a cute little brownstone and the neighborhood was in great condition. At the end of the street was a bar called Farrells which my Opa use to go to. After leaving the Prospect park area, we got on the subway and headed up to Williamsburg/ Bedford area(another part of Brooklyn). Here we were going to go to the Brooklyn brewery. Coincidently the boys were in the same area at the time so we met up with them and went to the brewery. It was so packed that we didn't actually stay for a beer. We wanted to walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge that evening so we headed back in to that area. First we stopped at the famous pizza place called Grimaldies, which if you ever go to Brooklyn you have to eat there. It is a little hole in the wall pizza place where there is normally an hour long wait outside just to get it, but it is definitely worth it!!! After we had stuffed ourselves with pizza we began our trek across the bridge. It was definitely not as long as I thought it would be, but had such a beatiful site of the city at sunset.
We got back into Manhattan around 8:30pm and got ready to go out becuase that is what you do in the city that never sleeps!!!!
Well now comes Sunday. My roomies and I were planning on getting up and go for a church service at St. Patricks Cathedral, but that fell through when our alarms went off at 7:30 and we had only gotten to bed at 4:30 :) So we slept a few more hours and got up and went to brunch at the sunflower diner. As we were walking back to the apt after breakfast we got this wackey idea that we should go kayaking on the Hudson River. So we headed to the west side and at Pier 40 there is a group that lets you kayak for free. It was so nice we kayaked for around 45mins ( more like rowed up and let the current push us back down. After kayak and being all wet, we walked around soho, got some frozen yogurt and came back to our area. That night my roomie and I decided to see Harry Potter and just have a relaxing night.

Well that pretty much sums up another weekend here in NY.
Enjoy the Pictures
