March offered a glimmer of hope that Spring<\/strong> was on the way to NYC<\/strong>. We were graced with a few warm weekend days, days that begged for us to get outside and explore the boroughs beyond Manhattan<\/strong>. While touring Park Slope one weekend, a well-informed Brooklynite<\/strong> suggested that I take a tour of Fort Greene. Turns out, his advice was spot on. On this particular day (which had me walking all throughout Brooklyn), I found myself in Fort Greene in the late afternoon as the sun was low in the sky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As the sun began to set, the town homes along the tree lined streets of Fort Greene<\/strong> became illuminated. I found myself among amazing brownstone buildings. As my friend and I strolled along the streets of Fort Greene saying \u201coh look at that one\u201d and \u201cthat one\u201d and \u201coh aren\u2019t those windows amazing\u201d and \u201coh that terrace, wow\u201d I found myself dreaming of the day that I too would be able to make my own home in such a beautiful and bucolic neighborhood. Once the sunset, it was time to check out the other great offering of Fort Greene<\/strong> \u2013 the amazing local restaurants.<\/p>\n

Turns out getting a table on a Saturday night in one of Fort Greene\u2019s trendy restaurants is not so easy. After putting my name on the waitlist for numerous restaurants along Dekalb Street, I settled into a pub for a quick beer \u2013 almost giving up on the hopes that I would get a call back from one of these restaurants. Luckily, fate was on my side this day and upon sitting down at the pub I received a text message from Miss Ada, a modern Israeli restaurant. I couldn\u2019t have been more pleased; the food was fresh and immaculately prepared. I highly recommend a stroll through the Fort Greene neighborhood and Fort Greene Park and I definitely recommend trying one of the great restaurants this neighborhood has to offer.<\/p>\n
