Eve Of Summer, Slope of Park
Yesterday flew by quickly, all 15 hours and 6 minutes of it... But it ended nicely, in Park Slope, having dinner with Bart. I arrived there an hour late, 12 blocks further south than I had hoped, after a series of train calamties and miscalculations. Happily, I was able to walk those 12 blocks right down the middle of 7th avenue in the glowing sunset, since a street fair had ended an hour ago but the traffic barricades were still up.
Honey duck at Lemon Grass Grill was succulent, a sensory cyclone of sweet crunchy duck breast, ginger, baked apple, and vegetables. It was lovely to see Bart, who will be moving to Park Slope, together with his boyfriend Ashley, with whom he just celebrated one year together! Happy anniversary, you two..
After dinner, we strolled in the twilight past Grand Army Plaza to the Brooklyn Museum, now ravishing and cutting-edge with its newly enhanced façade.
Now, complementing the greek columns is a post-modern glass entrance (see pic from google below), with catwalk promenades and white brick stairways with giant-size steps to encourage sitting down. My own photo, pictured above: museum artifacts decorating the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station.
