Best Place to Relive Your Youth: The American Girl's Place (49th and 5th) I used to recieve the catalogues when I was young and now I can go visit the dolls whenever I want...though I wouldn't go during the holidays as the place is overrun with little girls and their harassed mothers.
Best Place to Hear Random Bands (tie): Barbes (9th St and 6th Ave, Park Slope) and Two Boots (2nd St and 7th Ave, Park Slope)...both places have warm, friendly atmospheres, inexpensive drinks and you can fins Cajun or Hawaiian music if you wander in one weekend...
Best Place for a Weekend Walk: Prospect Park. Every weekend, any number of people will be running, playing frisbee or walking their dogs in this landmark park in Brooklyn.
Best Bohmeians: Get off the F train at York street and you'll find yourself in the world of DUMBO, an artists' community that one weekend a year opens its doors for the rest of the world to peruse their studios and works.
Unique Book Reading: Jill Soloway at Mo' Pitkins (34 Ave A). While promoting her new book, this former Six Feet Under staff writer hosted an evening starring Molly Shannon, Lilli Taylor and Lauren Ambrose, who read from her new book. www.jillsoloway.com
Best View: My friend Jodie's apt in Hoboken overlooks Manhattan. Even with the sadly diminished skyline, it is a sight to see. City of Blinding Lights, indeed.
Ok, that's all for now ;o)
