Scenes from Brooklyn

We live in such a beautiful part of Brooklyn - Fort Greene/Clinton Hill. With stunning brownstone buildings on tree lined streets and bustling commercial main streets packed with amazing restaurants, Brooklyn is an urban planners dream of utopia (sans 20' high piles of garbage, noisy trucks and car service horns). Our favorite main street is Dekalb Avenue where across the street from NY's only South African restaurant Madiba, you can watch a mean game of hoops. We live about a mile away from Prospect Park, which is probably Olmstead's best work. We met after work for a picnic dinner and concert in the park.
