My wife and I just landed from a quick trip to New York where @dougkarr, @bakerchristopher, and I spent three days combing through and polishing the HardFork scripts. This explains my recent lull in posting.

As we were making our way out of the Minneapolis airport we got stuck in an elevator (the second time this has happened to me in since June -- I’m not sure what that’s about.)

After we got home I joined a panel of guests for a fabulous episode of @pennsif ‘s radio show, MSP Waves where the guests discussed Film and Steem. @pennsif asked lots of great questions about the HardFork Series and I had a chance to learn about some of the other exciting film-based projects sprouting up on the platform. Listening to the show, I was quickly reminded of the strength of the Steemit community and the great news is it’s only getting bigger, better, and stronger.

Back To Our Trip

I’m happy to say our accommodations for this trip were the exact opposite of my Airbnb experience in Montreal, flawless. Luckily, a friend of our previous Brooklyn host who lives in the same building happened to have a last minute availability. Aside from the slightly creepy mannequin and the ever more creepy Alexa the apartment was perfect. At just over 500 sq ft we felt right at home.

Dawn to dusk was devoted to writing but as dusk….

...gave way to the beautiful lights of the city we had time to step out and try a few of the amazing restaurants that Brooklyn has to offer.

We tried neighborhood favorite Rabbithole and the delicious pizza from Fornino definitely didn't disappoint.

My favorite meal (and biggest surprise) of the week was how extremely good the barbecue was from a place called Mable's Smokehouse (sorry for the grainy photo of it below). It was actually the best barbecue I've had North of the Mason-Dixon line. This proves you CAN get just about anything in New York.

As always, there are too many restaurants and not enough time. Alas, there will be more trips and newfound reasons to love this city.

Thanks for reading,

Eric
