Goodbyes, Ice Cream and Perfect Weather in Bklyn

Today we headed to Bubby's in Dumbo to say goodbye to a friend who's heading back to the Midwest after a stint here in NYC.

Bubby's is a huge place and by a huge I mean, ginormous. Afterwards, we spent some time at nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park where I snapped the picture to the right.

We said our goodbyes and then set off to check out a little bit of Brooklyn Heights, stopping at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory for a scoop of Peach flavored ice cream and some people watching, including lots of wedding photo opps being taken with the scenic skyline in the background.

We then checked out the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, which had terrific views of the skyline but wasn't quite what I expected. For some reason, I pictured it being closer to the water and having more grass than pavement.

Then it was back to the Slope, taking in the perfect weather, walking by the stoop sales and heading home after a long but fun afternoon.
