Prospect Park in the Summer:Where else can you watch cricket, soccer, kites flying AND smell goat being barbecued?
Brooklyn Museum:
For me, the museum embodies civic pride for the city of Brooklyn.
The neighbors :
The diversity, the unique character of each 'hood, and the places that time has forgot.
The Promenade:
The spot where pretty much everyone I know who moved to Brooklyn made that decision.
Dennet Place in Carroll Gardens:
The little street that seemed to have been transplanted from Europe. I love the street. It's where I got married on my stoop, with 250 close friends and neighbors.
The Boat Bar on Smith St.:
A great bar where I have met some amazing people over the years. The ever changing jukebox and the decor that never changes.
Parties & Gatherings:
Having a party in a one bedroom apartment and hearing Russian, French, Spanish and several dialects of English while trying to maneuver to the fridge.
The Creative Spirit:
Knowing writers, painters, photographers, filmmakers, chefs, musicians, designers, architects, and...
The Kick-A** Music Scene:
Yeasayers, Regina Spektor, Jay Z, MGMT, Antibalas, Vampire Weekend, Lil'kim, Animal Collective, Matisyahu, Dirty projectors, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Slavic soul party, Grizzly Bear, Chicha Libre, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, The Naysayers, and well to many more to mention here
Working in Dumbo and living in Carroll Gardens:
Never having to leave Brooklyn unless I want to.
