Sunday in Brooklyn...

Soundtrack:

• Diana Krall's Quiet Nights on the trip down.  Kind of sappy, but great for a rainy Sunday morning where we missed our BQE transfer from the Hutch and ended up driving past the new Yankee Stadium while trying to get back on track.
• Gathered up JFK, G-Man and Yvette in Bay Ridge and took the train to Park Slope for some excellent steak & eggs-over-easy and a Bloody Mary at Okeono at the corner of 7th Ave/8th.  Can't remember the background music.  Sorry.
• Got soaked and chilled on the walk to the Union Hall.   Union Hall is a 5,000 square foot bar, restaurant and live music venue in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn.  Painstakingly converted from a warehouse, it offers cozy firesides, a stately library, two indoor bocce courts, outdoor garden seating, and a downstairs bar and music venue. New York Press says Union Hall "offers downtown style mixed with Brooklyn's trademark down-to-earth friendliness."  We never got to challenge the bocce pros, but sipped beers as JFK slipped a buck into the jukebox to play some Black Keys, Clash and The Hold Steady.
• For the return trip - Backatown from Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, who appear this Friday night at Infinity Music Hall & Bistro in Norfolk.
