after the Friends basketball game---I decided to take the L to the Bedford Avenue stop in Brooklyn, then see if I could find a place at the bar at Sweetwater's, a friendly restaurant (more then a bar) on north 6th street near the subway stop. But when I got to the restaurant, the place was filled---no room at the bar---in fact no room anywhere, so I got out of there quickly. Still hungry, so where could I go, I walked south on Bedford, then came to the Whole Foods very large store--wandered around and chose the chicken pot pie soup---really beautiful, then five pieces of roasted chicken, not so beautiful for my stomach. I have to remind myself to stay away from cooked foods; I don't think my stomach can handle them anymore. After whole foods, felt it was best to return to Manhattan, to the Essex market for my final stop before going home. So I hopped on the J and went the one stop from Marcy into Manhattan. As I walked south on Bedford, I realized that I had not been there for a while---remembered a time, not so long ago, when South fourth was still in operation when I walked that trip sometimes every day. It seemed then that Williamsburg was my "second home". But no more--soouth fourth is gone, and I have no other regular eating or drinking place in the area.Every bar and restaurant seemed packed as I walked my walk---where do all these people come from? Finally arrived at Essex street, stopped a bit at the Market, chilled out and returned to the apartment.
Today, after some sessions will try to watch the first of four football playoff games and since the second one is not that interesting (at least not yet) might want to see a movie later tonight. The Metrograph has High and Low, a Kurosawa film that is supposed to be amazing but that I have never seen. Well...maybe tonight...
