P1180620 Edit

My husband had the day off for Martin Luther King day so he decided to join me on my Monday adventure. We are both fans of Jerry Seinfeld and like his internet show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Jerry takes various celebrities to coffee shops around NYC (as well as LA). I remembered one in Brooklyn so I looked it up. The Roebling Tea House in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn. He took Seth Meyers there. Had good reviews on Trip advisor so we set our basic intention of the day to make our way over there. What I like about my Mondays is I will go with one general goal for a day, a place to visit or tour, but mostly I let the day unfold as it will.

Tunnel to the New Haven train platform. I can't decide if I like it in color or black & white so I'm showing both. :)

P1180639  P1180642

There are many murals throughout Brooklyn. Personally, I am not a believer in the global warming theories, but the mural and old car were certainly a statement. Not quite sure how the two relate.

P1180649

Our destination goal.

P1180664

Lunch!  I'm a foodie so I will often photograph my meal. Jeff enjoyed his first cold brew coffee. The waitress told us how to make it, the French press works great, just put in the coffee and water and stick it in the fridge overnight. Apparently less acidic than brewed coffee. Perhaps Miss Reflux can enjoy it sometime.

P1180675

Maybe someday I will be, too.

P1180683 Edit

So this artist did get me to visit her website thanks to this leg. If you click on the photo, it will take you to her site. She's interesting. :)

P1180698 Edit

A 60's inspired vintage store. The guy at the register was particularly unfriendly but whatever. My parents had a lot of the 60's furniture growing up and it's come back big time in new furniture stores these days. There is a chair in the far right of this photo (striped fabric) that I grew up with; our fabric was a little different, lighter, but that's the chair. I think we have Don Draper to thank for this resurgence of 60's decor.

P1180710

A fabulous store called Fuego; looked like an inventory nightmare. ;)  Fuego is at 249 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11211

P1180716

Brooklyn movie theater.

P1180723 Edit

My favorite photo of the day. I like the girl on the far right.

P1180760 Edit 2

Golden Hour long shadows.

P1180767

P1180768 Edit

P1180731

The fisheye let me capture this very long mural in one shot. Some lens flare. This was down by the water and it was windy and freezing.

P1180778

I need to find out what this is, some kind of subway marker. 

P1180781 Edit

P1180786

Rite Aid in Grand Central; I was so impressed with how many languages they support there!

P1180793

The Campbell Apartment. It's not an apartment at all, but it is in Grand Central. It was an office space for a rich guy years ago. Now it's a place to have a $17 glass of wine. It's really cool inside, like you've stepped into a different time. You can access it from the elevators on the ramp up near the Oyster Bar in the food court area.

P1180799

Until the next Magic Monday!
