More Brooklyn!

I was bored this week, so when Suzanne invited me into NY again, I decided to try my hand at driving into NY. I've driven into Staten Island before to buy my mandolin, but never into NY proper. I was understandably nervous. I'd pictured going around 6 pm as this horrible, rush hour crush, but it wasn't bad at all. Surprisingly it took about 1 hour ~ 45 min. depending on how you look at it.

Suzanne, Magda, and I had some cheap and delicious Thai food in Brooklyn at Joya, before we headed over to another session in Smithwick's. It was a good time. Photos available here!

That night, I drove back to New Jersey. Unfortunately, the Goethals Bridge was closed, so I had to navigate myself home. Everyone should always have an atlas in the car with them.
