After getting off the B41 bus from our Kings Plaza Black Friday expedition, we went to Starbucks on Hillel Place, where our venti black iced tea was waiting for us by the time we reached the register. Then we stopped off at the Triangle Junction Mall's Target and new AJ Wright stores before ...

We left Williamsburg before dawn and when we arrived around 7:45 a.m. at the Kings Plaza Shopping Center, the mall was crowded with Black Friday shoppers eagerly snapping up doorbusters and other bargain sales. We have nothing to compare it with, but it appeared that a lot of Brooklynites ...

On Mondays, between our early morning composition class at the fantastic Fordham University and our late afternoon Cold War literature class at the wonderful City College of New York, we get to come home for a few hours of lunch and work and, if we're lucky, a short nap and enough time to go ...

It was a glorious afternoon, quite mild and finally sunny - a rare event in mid-November New York City. We took advantage of the clement weather to walk from Dumbo Books HQ in Williamsburg just over the border into the borough of Queens. Our destination: the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House , the ...

This morning, after doing our power yoga and chores, we got on the B43 bus at Graham and Metropolitan and took it down to the new Brooklyn Children's Museum at Brooklyn Children's Museum on Brooklyn Avenue and St. Marks Place in Crown Heights. It's the same location it was when it was built ...

This afternoon we went over to P.S. 196 on Bushwick Avenue to get our H1N1 vaccination. After last week's low turnout, the city schools' weekend swine flu shot clinics were opened not just to pregnant women, kids and young adults up to age 24. Those of us ages 25 through 64 who have ...
