LAZY SATURDAY

Yesterday was spent doing more Brooklyn exploration - this time it was Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill. As it turns out, it's every bit as slow and lazy as I'd remembered it. The strange thing was that I actually liked that fact. I'm fine with this development. I just didn't realize it was going to happen.

Anyway, we really just wandered. The weather was beautiful and we slowly ate our way through the neighboring hoods.

We had lunch at this random place called Savoia on Smith Street. They had a brunch/lunch special so we figured we'd give it a shot. It was OK. We sat outside (which was amazing) and had some pizza. Meena had a margherita with anchovies. I had one with roasted red and yellow peppers. Excellent atmosphere, decent food.

Before we left, we hit the seemingly popular Bar Tabac for a couple beers and some frites. Another perfect little setting. The beers were delicious and the frites were tasty. They had to get all Euro on us by trying to have us eat fries with mayo. No thanks, dudez.

Because we were so full from Brooklyn wandering, all we felt like eating for dinner was a couple quick bites of sushi. We happened to be walking past Esashi when we came to this realization, so Esashi was the winner. Meena had a shrimp tempura and a spicy tuna and I had a mackerel with ginger and a tuna and avocado.

It was a wonderfully lazy Saturday, indeed.
