Let it swim
I wrote about the community garden in Park Slope before and I found 2 more! They are so cute, too! One of these days, I should make a garden day and relax over there.
Annie’s Garden on Union Street and 5th Avenue:
Green Space on President Street and 5th Avenue:
Today is May 5th – Cinco de Mayo! We’re going to Mexican restaurant down the street for a dinner and drinks soon…
Speaking of 5…. on the 5th Avenue in north Park Slope (Park slope is huge), we found this cute BBQ/Meat place yesterday — food was so good, too! It’s called Lookout Hill Smokehouse. I couldn’t find any websites, reviews on yelp, citysearch or anything… but it was such a cool venue!

It was a beautiful day yesterday and we got to stop by Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the Sakura Festival – all the cherry blossom trees were in full bloom and oh my god, it was so pretty!! It has been so long for me to see that much cherry blossom and I was blown away. I love spring here as I keep saying everyday!
Entrance area – it was packed!
How beautiful is this tulip area?

So many turtles were sun bathing:
Sakura!
I heard that Kinokuniya reopened here, but I hadn’t had a chance to go there yet, but I finally made a trip there and wow, it was so awesome. They have 3 floors and I was surprised how much fashion and design magazines/books/mooks they have! (compare to SF one and San Mateo one that I’ve been to) Especially, the collections of fashion magazines/books are very strong here straight from Tokyo to NYC. It’s impressive.
