Motorino, 2013

So we have a really hectic (but fun) summer ahead, with France, weddings, Will's grandmother's 100th birthday celebration, family in the U.S. from Asia and Europe, Axel's first birthday celebration, lots of Maine, lots of heat, and oh, yeah, work...And all this kicks off in just three days.

It always gets kind of manic like this, summer. So much so that by September we usually swear we'll never overbook ourselves to such an extent again, only to foget what we swore and do it all over again twelve months later.

All of this means that we don't have much time to laze around in Brooklyn, at least not until August. All of these summer guides to the city? There's no time!

But that doesn't mean I'm not insanely excited for the re-opening of Motorino, one of our all time favorite pizzerias, in its new location. We may not get there 'til November, but we will certainly enjoy it when we do.

I've also been perusing the new site Bedford & Bowery, dedicated to happenings in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn, but with a big focus on Williamsburg. It goes a long way to explaining why much of North Sixth Street was covered in yarn this weekend.

At least we've gotten some peeks at the Brooklyn summer mayhem before we set off on our adventures.
