The deli claims it’s open 24 hours a day, though they appeared to be partly closing down operations at 9:30 PM. I could make an excursion there at 3:00 AM some time to see… nah, I’ll take their word for it.

Pavilion Theater is really open

OPEN banners are flying outside the Pavilion Theater. Was it closed, or are they acknowledging that the movie theater is staying open and showing movies though the building is falling apart bit by bit? Ticket holders pay to trip over frayed rugs and sit in broken seats.
Icey vendor is coming!

The ice carts are a familiar sight at playgrounds: the vendors ring the bell and the kids get a dollar from the grown-ups and come running. This guy, being outside Prospect Park, is catering to the smokers, who have been recently banned from lighting up within NYC parks.
Is there a P?

Piece by piece, the Pavilion Theater is falling apart. The condition inside matches what’s going on here in front, except my feet don’t stick to the sidewalk and there are fewer people having loud conversations outside.
Where to drink in Windsor Terrace

Before the Double Windsor moved to the neighborhood, catty-corner to Farrell’s, you pretty much had to do your drinking at home if the cop & firemen bar wasn’t to your taste. During the day, the Double Windsor serves sandwiches and artisanal beer, then they kick the kids for happy hour, and eventually it turns into a hipster scene. You’ll almost feel like you’re on Fifth Avenue in Park Slope.
Litchfield Villa in the rain

Built in 1857, Litchfield Villa was nearly torn down eleven years later during the construction of Prospect Park. Brooklyn was mostly farmland then, and the weathly Edwin Litchfield owned the land all the way down to the Gowanus. He built his mansion on a hill so that he could see the harbor. Litchfield wasn’t happy, being forced to give up his house, but he didn’t have a choice.
Currently the headquarters of Brooklyn’s Parks and Recreation and Prospect Park Alliance, Litchfield Villa, with its porch columns decorated with corn cobs and wheat stalks, is considered a stellar example of 19th century romantic Italian architecture.
