No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn

While in NYC, we are staying at a small artist loft/bed and breakfast in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (just across the bridge from Manhattan). When we pulled up late last night I was wondering what I had gotten us into just to save a few bucks; the place was full of graffiti, the addresses were painted on the brick and it looked very industrial. Luckily upon meeting the Argentinian owner of the flat, Pablo, we were reassured everything is safe and is in fact a great neighbourhood. The place is full of South American art and the llama blankets on the bed are also very cozy.

We were touring around Midtown today and Jacob remembered that he had left his knapsack in Starbucks oh only...37 blocks away! Somehow we hoofed it back on the subway faster than the Flash and made it back to the Starbucks in question and they had it safe and sound. Boy was he lucky! We should buy lottery tickets.

On a bonus note today, the man saw his first New York City subway rat! Now he can say that he has really seen the real NYC.
