ADVENTURING.

Brownstones in our neighborhood.

We had a fairly busy weekend, both in Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Really, really loving being here and experiencing east coast Fall again.  I'm pretty happy right now just exploring around our neighborhood, but have big plans this week of exploring lower Manhattan too (parts I've not yet roamed).

Boaters in Central Park.

We had a really great/quick visit with Raf's cousin and took a peaceful walk around Central Park.  After parting ways with her, we ended up having dinner at Angelica Kitchen,  a really yummy vegan/macrobiotic restaurant in the East Village.  Delicious!

Raf on a vintage city bus (1958) we toured at the Atlantic Antic street festival.

These buses were really cool.

Perfect autumn sunlight in Boerum Hill.

Such a lovely neighborhood.

Garden gate.

We ended the day yesterday at a house-warming party for some new friends who recently moved into their lovely place in Park Slope.  Such a great neighborhood!  And we hung out with some really fun folks and got invited to a (weekly) Downton Abbey viewing party.  Ummmm...YES!  I may or may not have watched the first 3 seasons in a ridiculously short amount of time.  I guess the obsession with this show will continue, at least at a healthier pace now.  :)
