A Very Busy Week (part five of five)

Whew! I'm getting winded just typing about all that happened this week, and you're only getting a few of the highlights! Restaurants, walks in the city, and more had to be left on the blogging room floor, so to speak.

In all this adventure, I was very strongly reminded of what a fantastic place Brooklyn is. Yes, all of NYC is a fun-and-garbage-filled wonderland, but Brooklyn has such heart, such honesty and sincerity and it feels so family-friendly. On saturday I passed by a free reggaeton concert where some costumes for the upcoming West Indian Cultural Festival were displayed, and this girl was standing with her family, and, I don't know, she just looked like Ms. Brooklyn, or something.


Afterwards we swung by Celebrate Brooklyn for part of the African festival, where good-smelling food and happy-sounding music were on display.



I mean, c'mon. Brooklyn even has its own Statue of Liberty! (though, admittedly, it's in a parking lot)


Next weekend at Celebrate Brooklyn it's Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and Queen Latifah! Maybe this very busy week will become a very busy month.
