benson, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Peggy’s Cove is definitely very touristy. Still worth a visit, but probably nicer to go more off the beaten path like you did.
jester, I didn’t notice any sign of grouchiness in you whatsoever. Not at all.
beoch, of course! I knew that, hence the smiley in my response.
Capital PLUSA, I don’t recall walking on Guernsey. It might be the only street I DIDN’T walk on. I was on Norman and Meserole, however. Other streets I recall being on were Nassau, Bayard, Lorimer, Manhattan, Driggs, Russell, Humboldt, McGuinness, Noble, Kent, Java, Huron, India, Franklin, West. Also went through McCarren Park and McGolrick Park.
Peter Pan Bakery on Manhattan Avenue had some amazing donuts too.
Biff;
Yeah, I was amazed that the ship would stop at St. John (thanks for the correction), but my guess is that the city is looking at them as their silver bullet for reviving the economy. They just built a new terminal, and three ships were docked there.
We did go to Peggy’s Cove, but I didn’t stay long. It is so over-run with tourists and tour buses. I felt sorry for the residents of the village, as it seems that the tourists outnumber them 4 to 1. We went to Hackett’s Cove,instead – the picture-perfect village I described above.
Are you talking about Saturday Jester? You didn’t seem grouchy at all.
Biff, I wasn’t judging . . . I was applauding.
Biff, Greenpoint is indeed a wonderful area. Did you walk down Guernsey between Norman and Meserole? It’s one of my favorite blocks:

I also recommend Ashbox, the northernmost coffee shop in Brooklyn.
I just want to apologize for being a little grouchy last time I saw a bunch of y’all. After you left, I went to another bar and got a pint. After two sips I thought, “I’d rather be drinking this in the comfort of my own home.” So I stood up, walked right out and walked home, a kind of lengthy walk, sipping as I went. I was in a weird mood that night!
“I love that you had beer with bkfast. Sort of like a mimosa I guess . . . .”
beoch, where I’m from, beer is our orange juice. 🙂
Actually, my “breakfast” was around noon, so it didn’t seem that odd. And I had already walked a ton and needed some Canadian petrol to keep me going.
Adrian Grenier is a celebrity?!?!
But okay.
Some of you are so easily amused and impressed 🙂
