I like Brooklyn. My dad (98 in Feb.) took us to Pratt last Friday. Quite a campus! He had not been back since he graduated from there in 1952 (after returning from WWII). His memories were sharp and amazing. Of course, it's changed dramatically since then! He used to commute to school from Patchogue, Long Island, on trains, which took about 2 1/2 hours each way back then.
Just got back early this morning from a Brooklyn wedding (my nephew) this weekend. Didn't have a chance to read this piece until today. Wish I had done so before I left!

Sweet, sharp, funny. An elegiac Dim Sum platter. Even if you're writing faster than I can read.
What a wonderful piece. Read a mile away from Mimi’s Humus
