Brooklyn Flea Market

A few Sundays ago, I visited the Brooklyn Flea located in the old Williamsburg Savings Bank.

This building is beautiful... The glittering 63-foot high vaulted ceiling, the ornately carved columns,     the 40-foot tall iron decorated windows, the massive 60-ton vault doors... I could barely pay attention to all the antique and vintage treasures around me.

 

 A few treasures did manage to catch my eye...

Great Lakes

My friend and I originally planned to attend an art opening but miss-communication lead us to stumble upon this cozy little bar instead. It was called The Great Lakes Bar, located in Park Slop, Brooklyn.

The Magician

Met up with some friends at a bar in the L.E.S. called The Magician. A good time is always had there.

New Year 2011

We had a small New Year's party. It was decorated with streamers and a pinata. There was an array of bubbly, sparkling, golden drinks and festive snacks.
It was a success.
Later that day we all gathered again for Dim Sum at a fantastic restaurant called Golden Unicorn.

Poughkeepsie, NY.

I went to Poughkeepsie, NY for my cousin's wedding.
Before the celebrations, I walked over an old train bridge that had been converted into a walkway.
There was quite a view.
