Closing Bell: Amalfi Coast, Here We Come

We haven’t had a real vacation since we started Brownstoner over four years ago and after the last five months of writing the site almost entirely by ourselves while juggling Flea-related responsibilities, we are beat. So tomorrow we’re heading out with Mrs. B and a few friends (sans kids) to the Amalfi Coast for a week. We may write a few posts on the local architecture while we’re there, but by and large we’ll be leaving the blog in the extremely capable hands of Gabby Warshawer who, many of you will remember, played an integral editorial role in the site in 2007 and 2008. We look forward to returning full of blogging vim and Flea vigor. Ciao!
heads up! ill broker any house for like two hundred dollars. and get it SOLD LOL ugh im waiting for the cable guy since 5pm! he has a window until 9. zzzzz
Oh, and Mckenzie is right….that end of Super East Park Slope is gorgeous this time of year. I’ve never met you, but I sure hope you and the Mrs. are quite tall and model-like – it will help with those restaurants that have a wait time for tables 🙂
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
Jealous!!! Have a great time, eat tons of good food and be sure to post pics for us asshats stuck in Brooklyn!
Oh, and don’t underestimate having the What as the exclusive broker for your brownstone if you sell. I can just see him cursing out and busting the heads of folks who dare bid a ridiculous price….think seller’s revenge!
You’d rather go to the Amalfi Coast than our house tour on the 31st?
I find that hard to understand, since everyone knows that PLG is paradise 😉
pssssst… u know what they say.. while the cat’s away! jk hahaha. im sure gabby and what will have this place on maximum lockdown (which is actually kinda hot when u think about it)
*rob*
Carbon buy back, Anyone?
Well, enjoy. May is a good time to go. Good weather generally, and the crowds aren’t there yet.
If you’re not too familiar with Italy, you may be surprised by the comparative luxuriousness of (even normal) residential bathrooms when seen against the hideousness of public ones.
As ever, stop using “we”. The editorial first person plural sounds especially odd: “So tomorrow we’re heading out with Mrs. B…”
That sounds like the kind of mistake native French speakers make in English, even those extremely profcient in English, when using that construction.
Jealous!
Hope you get to spend some time in Ravello. And if you’re serious about amalficoaster — we’ve been serious about this exact move — maybe you should check out Gore Vidal’s old place which I recently heard was back on the market:

now THAT”S a blog!
I think the Amalfi Coast is one of the nicest parts of Park Slope.
bring back plenty of pictures of bathrooms and kitchens!
