When you're done, just for fun, click on Home, then neighborhoods.

Warning: click on the links only if you have some spare time. @:-)

Brooklyn Tourists and assorted dinner companions,

The website is up and running and will be maintained at:

This post may be taken apart piecemeal and the relevant bit put in whichever post on page 1 is appropriate.

Have fun you lucky dogs,

Mike

For what? Egg creams are made with chocolate syrup, milk and seltzer. Nothing else is genuine and whipped ceam is only for the charlotte russe.

What I do with and where I put my whipped cream is on a "need to know" basis...

You’ll have to forgive iluv2fly, monitor.

As with hot dogs and pizza, they simply do things differently in Chicago.

As Bugs Bunny, in his 1940s Brooklyn accent, would say: “I am such a stinker...”

I was thinking about flying down from BOS (thanks chrissxb for pointing this out), but hotels in downtown NYC are (as always) ridiculously expensive. The EWR Hilton is $93 for 5/6 and I was wondering if this can be done easily. I am also open to other hotel suggestions (HH is preferred as you see from my profile).

A side note/suggestion. How about dinner in the Mill Basin Deli instead of Spumoni Gardens? The downside is there is no subway service. Meducate might have some contacts there .
You read my mind, Mary!!!!

Ironically, John F. Kennedy International Airport is the closest airport to the “dhammer53 section” of Brooklyn where he once lived — but, of course, that is not where the dhammer53 Brooklyn Reality Tour officially begins.
And so close to the Canarsie section of Brooklyn where some of us grew up that there is an approach to Kennedy named after it...the Canarsie VOR....
