It was fun to see it without having many expectations.<BR/><BR/>michael - I'm glad you enjoyed reading my first impressions of your hometown. I'm looking forward to visiting Brooklyn again now that I've seen it. I love Manhattan, but it's pretty familiar to me now.<BR/><BR/>barbara - I enjoyed your post about Mermaid Avenue! Unfortunately I didn't see it. I was mostly on Surf Avenue and Neptune Avenue.<BR/>Yes, my bass was expertly restored by David Gage after it had been demolished in a car accident. He is my hero.<BR/><BR/>lilu - I've always been all about the pizza slices in NYC. I'm definitely overdue for a Gray's Paypaya special!<BR/><BR/>bozoette - I started writing down the roads I'd been on so that I could backtrack if necessary. I hope the rollercoaster isn't one of the rides they've permanently shut down because it looks like a good one - all rickety and steep.<BR/><BR/>kristen - If you posted about it, I probably read it, and that may very well have been the reason it occured to me to suddenly go there. So the next time I go there, hopefully in the summer, I'll eat a custard in your honor. They must have a frozen custard stand there somewhere, right?Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-83082175015498956192008-11-14T17:16:00.000-05:002008-11-14T17:16:00.000-05:00You make me want to drop everything and go to New ...You make me want to drop everything and go to New York. I just visited Coney Island for the first time this summer and absolutely loved it, for what it was and what it still is. Though, I really wanted a frozen custard but no luck.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105680755485062414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-60814301835852754502008-11-14T15:50:00.000-05:002008-11-14T15:50:00.000-05:00You're very brave, driving all over the boroughs l...You're very brave, driving all over the boroughs like that!

My stomach is growling.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had such an adventurous trip to NYC. Your wandering in your car sounds like something I might do. Did you ever see Mermaid Avenue? I once wrote <A HREF="http://looking2live.blogspot.com/2007/01/new-favorite-song.html" REL="nofollow">a post</A> about that.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're happy to have your bass work done. Our mutual friend says that luthier is reputed to be the best around. She thought your bass had sustained damage in a car accident at one point. Is that true?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6906849261938947265.post-36460084492693174052008-11-14T06:27:00.000-05:002008-11-14T06:27:00.000-05:00I live a block from Prospect Park and grew up in S...I live a block from Prospect Park and grew up in Sheepshead Bay.
