Finally....Brooklyn


So, the big move went fine. Actually, cross your fingers. Our stuff's not here yet. But the actual packing seemed to go off without a hitch. Of course, a couple drinking glasses became casualties in the process. But broken items are fair game when three guys are packing up your entire apartment and loading a truck in the span of one day.

We got to Brooklyn on Wednesday and immediately checked out the new 'hood, walking up the main drags of 5th and 7th Avenues. We ended up having dinner at Bogota, a Latin Bistro. It was good overall - it didn't blow us away but was tasty nevertheless. My wife had the Chipotle Corn Crusted Salmon with Cilantro Mashed Potatoes and Shredded Kale. I opted for the Plantain Crusted Chicken with Cilantro Mashed Potatoes and Red Beans as my sides. However, I will say we were disappointed with the Coconut Shrimp as the appetizer as it was overcooked.

Bogota was good enough to make us want to come back for another visit....
