Post Picture here! ;)

Taking pictures of all the meals
But what about the one today, the shrimafyer a swim and a fresh/sweet water shower
With the sun setting
And Mom happy
And Miguel happy
And more days left...

Azores Grub

Currently in the Azores, where the coffee is 50 cents, the wine is a few euros for a very good bottle and the seafood is as fresh as can be!!

I don't know why I'd eat anywhere else!!

Mexican Street Food on the Street

Today was lovely in Greenpoint. 

Stoop Sales and a free writers workshop at Word.

You were walking to the park by the river, where everyone hung out, even though the sun was too strong. 

You bought a taco and a piece of corn rolled in cheese and spices. Yum. $6.

Better than brunch.

Utopia Diner, 72nd & Bway, Manhattan

So the picture kinda sez it all. 

I came in around 11, and got a look at the breakfast menu.  Standard fare, but all the omelette stuff was over $10!  I mean, you might as well go to Sarabeths West, a few blocks away!

Unlimited coffee, standard. And terrible. You can rate it by how much cream & sugar you need at add to make it drinkable.  On a scale of 1-10, it's Diabetic. (Diabetical? Diabolical?)

Ordered the Chicken Fajita, off the lunch menu. Deluxe (fries AND 2 onion rings, yes please!) $15. Fair. Note, for some dishes, they charge extra for lettuce & tomato! Like THAT makes anything Deluxe!

When I asked them to wrap it up, after only managing half the meal, they handed me a brown bag inside a plastic bag and a TINY box for the food. Bet they threw away the fries, onion ring and lettuce. And the guac & sour cream on the side! 

Bastards! Not coming back here again!

PS Older lady with querulous voice next to me. She clapped when her friend arrived. Note to older lady self. Do. Not. Clap.

Return from Florida to a warm day!!

Lovely Greenpoint!!

I found an expensive book on the street. And then a bin of them!
I went swimming and then at the bookstore around the corner, there was a *free* table!
Then ate at Anella and around the corner was 106 Green, a terrific gallery space!!

Free art on the street, too. I didn't take this framed photograph. But here it is!!

Milk and Roses, Looking Back on Summer's Best Outdoor Eating Spot in Greenpoint

You'll have to excuse the lateness of this post. I was freezing in the Thanksgiving snow and saw these photos and just had to share.  An exterior/interior spot that seemed designed for late summer.

I should go again, Their main room seems divine for wintry evenings too.



Taken on a hot, humid day, after a bunch of cold ones. (Sept?)


Must document the best gardens!
