this is what i do in brooklyn.

i say hello to this little block every morning.

i drink australian-style flat whites @ milk bar while mocking australian-style babyccinos.

sometimes i do cultural things like go to the opera @ BAM.

most times i eat my weight in brunch foods (preferably @ dean street).

i remark on the 'brooklyn-ness' of things like bird-houses made from organic grass-fed milk cartons.

i play bocce ball @ union hall.

and i instagram photos of semi-meaningful statements on saturday morning strolls.
