Back in the day we had to cook our own food or go to the store. It was tough, man! Now all you have to do is point at what you want to eat, then pay. This halal food truck is parked near the President Street stations of the F and G Trains. The food looks okay, as long as you like tomatoes and onions, which appear in almost every picture.

Under the umbrellas, in the side yard of the bagel store, is the Gowanus Yacht Club, open seasonally. Membership happens when you walk through the entrance, and in case you’re not familiar with Brooklyn, there are no yachts, and the Gowanus is an filthy industrial canal that has just been superfunded. Continue the irony – order and enjoy a cold PBR and a hot dog.

I was drawn to Seersucker from across Smith Street by its neat and orderly front window, though it wasn’t clear what sort of business it was. My guess was plant boutique, then I saw the menus posted to the right. The restaurant, specializing in southern food, has been open about six weeks, and reviews have been mixed. The fried chicken and biscuits have fans, but the main complaints center around blandness, serving size, and price. For example: $12 glasses of wine and plain deviled eggs served three halves to a plate.

How appropriate that this guy has just crossed President Street. Like me, muttonchops probably remind you of the two U.S. presidents, Martin Van Buren and Chester A. Arthur, who wore their sideburns this style.

Sometimes you just have walk and read. The sidewalk is smooth here, but on many blocks you need to pay abundant attention as a pedestrian. This guy is engrossed in a Batman comic.
