photos: food photo porn, take II

I didn’t originally intend for this site to be so food-oriented, but we’ve been having so much fun with the food photos lately, that I had to post an update. Between our last days in Charlottesville and our first days in Brooklyn, we’ve had (and captured) some great meals, so I thought I’d continue the “food photo porn” trend and post a little wrap-up…

Wow, I think I made myself hungry (and thirsty!).

Cheers!

diggin’ into the big apple, part II: new apartment in brooklyn

Linds and I finally went back to NYC mid-July for the full apartment search. As most people will say, the apt. search in NYC is a whole different beast than it is in most other major U.S. cities. We’ve dealt with searches in Boston, Chicago, etc… but we knew we really had to gear up for the worst when dealing with NYC.

Luckily, we did our research and really honed in on a couple of key areas during a separate trip where we basically walked half of the city (well, maybe only a quarter, but it sure felt like half on Sunday!). It may have been a bit excessive, but I am really glad we made the scouting trip. Upon our return to the city, we were able to focus our apt. hunt on just a few areas of Brooklyn, including Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, and Park Slope.
