May

May proves to be a month of wonderful discoveries...

Anopoli, is THE place to eat breakfast in Bay Ridge and Tara and James make a point of visiting at least once during any given weekend (twice if family is in town.)

Yes, we've even tried the ice cream.

Al Fresco

Really?  Yes.  Really.


They discover that the Norwegian population in their neighborhood holds an annual festival in Owl's Head Park.  Who knew?  Touring Viking ships, brass bands, delicacies that could be enjoyed had they not just gorged themselves on Anopoli's apple-stuffed French toast...






Tara discovers the joys of serving at jury duty in Brooklyn.  It's a fascinating mix of bad coffee, confusion and complete boredom, only to be let go after eight hours of a big, fat waste of time.  

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is extended, so James and Tara make Monday evenings date night, exploring many fine eating and drinking establishments.  

James, enjoying a fine mojito.

And last but not least, Dinah discovers America.   A momentous month indeed.
