Boston or New York

Wow. If you were hanging out in Red Hook, you really have gone exploring! That neighborhood is changing by the day right now. It was a buried, ignored area that only had projects, even just a year or two ago. Now there are all these funky little restaurants and bars, although it still has a grungy feel. But a lot of the area still has the old cobblestone streets from the 1800s, which is cool. They just opened this huge supermarket there--Fairway. It is something like 34,000 square feet, which is ridiculously huge by NYC standards. It is an old pre-Civil War warehouse. Really cool looking from the outside. It's right on the water, and out back they have a cafe where you can sit on the water, with a view of NJ and the Statue of Liberty. It's right by where the cruise ships now dock. What's the name of your friend's place?

 

Heh. I don't eat any meat, so I am not big on BBQ. But I'd go with friends who like BBQ, just to play horseshoes. I can just get liquored up, I suppose, and put dents in people's heads. I'll try to figure out where it is. Might check it out.

 

OK. I know where that is. Grungy neighborhood, but really turning quickly. Right off the docks. Place looks like it might be fun.
