So we are in Brooklyn for January because…
… As the image shows, one bun is out of the oven and we are waiting for the other one…the Bride of 2012 (whose wedding chuppah was reported here) is soon to be a mama…
While waiting, the Grandies have been soaking up the local NYC culture. For example:
Lower Manhattan by Kirk Bauer – a work of art, a photo
Just around the corner from our apartment.
Cool plywood bench in the library entrance.
Inside the library display cases:
The snows blow in Brooklyn:
Some of our local subway stations:
At the Brooklyn Museum : “Killer Heels” – designer shoes. Very disturbing show. The movie still below captures a woman imprisoned by fashion, in hideous subjection to torture, willingly undergone

The view across from the Frick to Central Park:
Until next time!
