Saturday in The Slope

Yesterday was a Stage 5 Day, where it was good to be a New Yorker again. The weather was perfect - cool, sunny, and not humid at all. We started out walking through the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket and then dropping off a book at The Brooklyn Public Library (where amazingly after over a year and a half, those front steps are finally open to the public!).

We then made our way to the Prospect Park Zoo as the company I work for was participating in a "Corporate Weekend", meaning that employees and guests get to attend the zoo for free. We immediately went to visit the star of the show, the red panda.

Afterwards, we checked out the rest of the zoo and particularly liked the meerkat, porcupine, and California sea lions, pictured below.

We then walked through Prospect Park and made our way to 5th Ave. where we sat outside at Willie's Dawgs, indulging in a couple Frankies (hot dogs with carmelized onions and bacon).
