Neighborhood: May 2007 Archives

There's a new fruit and veggie market in the neighborhood and it might qualify as the neighborhood's largest, though it comes without any of the "gourmet" bells and whistles that seem to accompany most openings recently. And that is a compliment--less flash, lower prices--and do your vegetables really need chichi surroundings? K&Y fruit and vegetable is at 291 Court Street, between Degraw and Douglass. 

Sorry for the little posting hiccup. Something to do with being busy and enjoying being outside. I wanted to post my photos from the cherry blossom fest at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, but alas, when I arrived I discovered a dead camera battery. So, I am sharing a fellow garden sojourner's photo. The good news is that the blossoms seemed to be a day or two short of peak bloom (although the BBG bloom calendar says different), making this weekend a great time to check them out. I guess I like the blooms just when they start to fall, so it's like snow. Show up between 10am and noon on Saturday and it's free to get in!
