NYC Trip - 8.9.09 - Brooklyn, NY

To help from driving the straight 7 hours to Ashley & Don's wedding in Big Indian, NY (The Catskills), I was lucky enough to stay over at my friend Marie Claire's place in Brooklyn! I drove yesterday and arrived late last night. We ended up eating New York Gourmet Pizza at this local pizza joint and had Chicken Caesar, Buffalo Chicken and I forget the last type of pizza but they were ALL delicious!

Here are some pictures from my quick morning in Brooklyn before I headed to upstate New York!

Marie Claire and her roommate's apartment was such a quaint place to live. I attempted to climb outside and use their fire escape which didn't work and didn't have access to the roof. hehe. Nevertheless, they used their space outside to grow their plants and be eco-friendly.


We headed out to breakfast at a place just down the street. On the walk there, I did some street photography and tried to find photos that represented that location - Graham Avenue. The September 11th photo is a constant reminder that the day is and will be a part of the city. The man and the dog is one of my favorites with the "one shot only" kind of deal. Also, he was hilarious and kept talking to us while he was on the phone, so we had no idea who he was really talking to.



So sadly, the breakfast place around the corner didn't open in time for me to eat and be on the road. No worries, I was told there was an awesome place called Fabiane's but it was 2 stops on the subway. The metro ride to Bedford Avenue was short but there were some awesome grafitti and now this "graffiti pasting" is a big hit. Once at the breakfast place, the food themselves were faboulous. We each had the egg quiche bowls (?), shared a carrot cake and I had some chai tea to drink. Plus we ate it outside in the outside seating area to people watch. And that's how you catch breakfast in New York!
