death goes to myhotpink

my previous blog MYHOTPINK has seen it's last cyber day. MYHOTPINK was a collection of art, music, amazing restaurants and amazing people in Brooklyn, New York. while living in Brooklyn i came to know who i really am. i came to know more about people, and less about insignificance. i grew up and grew in. the friends i reconnected with and the people i met there, the experiences i had there and the experiences I took with me all shaped me in various ways. Brooklyn, i love you. just know that i'll be back...and that i never really left.

MISC
the best place to watch the sunset is from the Brooklyn Bridge.. do it!
brunch is a staple in New York, especially Brooklyn. so plan on spending 3 hours each Sunday with a handful of friends at any number of amazing restaurants
loft parties are pretty common in Brooklyn. so befriend anyone with a loft.
go see an amature burlesque show at Galapagos
catch a concert at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple or at the McCarren Park Pool
get lost on the subway system or better yet, take your chances of NOT getting trapped on the G line
have a picnic in Clinton Hill or catch a movie at the Brooklyn Center Cinema
roam around the city and appreciate all the graffiti or stop in one of the many independent art studios
if you end up doing the same old thing each day or each week in Brooklyn then you are, well, my mother always taught me to keep quiet if i didn't have anything nice to say.
