Brooklyn Exploration

With everyone in other schools back on campus, Vinny and I explored Brooklyn today. We started at Green-wood Cemetery, a national historic landmark, and spent about an hour there. Today was cloudy and it felt kind of spooky in the cemetery. The place was huge, with a bunch of hills and a lot of fancy-looking burials. We also walked by a few famous people who were buried there, but I only know of William Tweed. Afterwards, we drove to Brooklyn Chinatown and ate at Lucky Eight restaurant there. Everyone in Brooklyn Chinatown was so fobby and so much more Asian than Flushing or Chinatown. There was not much to do there, so we drove to Williamsburg where all the hipsters were. The place was really nice and people were really pretty there. We went to a few thrift shops and wandered around the streets, stalking people, and trying to blend in. I like the place; it's small and cozy and everything's nearby.
