send warm fuzzies
Did I mention that we’re in the midst of looking for a new apartment?
Things have improved. We’re on the stick for a cute little number, located mere steps away from the 36th Street express stop in Brooklyn. It’s big. It’s clean. The kitchen has never been used, and Time Warner Cable assures me that high-speed Internets are available. If the landlord will have us, we’ll probably take it, so keep your fingers crossed.
We’re also checking out a place on the cusp of Red Hook and Carroll Gardens, two of our favorite neighborhoods. Either way, if we end up in one of these places, the springtime biking will be fabulous.
(Of course, we need to get Leland a bike, first.)

Is 36th Street Sunset Park?

Keep us posted on the apartment search! Sounds promising. Maybe your crazy aunts and I can come by and stay. HA.

You should check out the Ditmas Park/Kensington area, where we live. It’s close to Prospect Park, and just starting to become “discovered.” We have Vox Pop (www.voxpopnet.net), the best radical coffee house in NYC (imho) which is run by Sander Hicks, the publisher of Soft Skull Press. There’s also incredible food, beautiful Victorian houses to rent apartments from that are much cheaper than other parts of Brooklyn. Much nicer than the slightly depressing Sunset Park. We spent six months searching for our current apartment, and are completely enthralled with the neighborhood. It’s also close to a bike route that goes all the way to Coney Island and Brighton Beach. I’ve walked it in the summer. E-mail me if you want more details.
