Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governors Island

Posted on by Hijiri

So I mentioned that I went to the Governors Island over the weekend, it was for the ’20s Lazz Age Lawn Party! It was so cute, everyone was dressed up as if it was in ’20s and danced to a live jazz music and had picnic in the lawn :) I had to share some photos… enjoy! ((By the way, it’s only 5 minute ferry ride from Brooklyn Pier 6! It was so so close, I was in shock!))

Old Movie Posters at Brooklyn Heights Cinema

We went to Brooklyn Heights Cinema last Friday to watch the Exit Through the Gift Shop (one of the best documentary (?) films I’ve seen in a long time, definitely makes you think, too!) and as I thought, inside of the theater was so cute :) Lots of old movie posters and very cozy.

As I mentioned yesterday’s post, there was a cute local flea market in Vinegar Hill so we took a walk around and looked around… and look what I found!

Old tools for sale:

Dolls on the window:

Display window with funny signs:

Blue door with heart-shape key hole and handle area:

Vinegar Hill is such a cute neighborhood, we love it around here. We had the best meal in a long time last night with our friends at Vinegar Hill House, too… along with a Christina Courtin concert at Barge Music. Great time!

Happy Memorial Day!
