2. Brooklyn accents - They're real! I have heard "Forgetaboutit!" twice, and yesterday this man explained that he was washing the sidewalks because they had gotten "doyty." I thought Hollywood had overdone the accent, but honestly I think the movies tone it down a bit so that you can still understand.
3. The Brooklyn library - It was built in 1903 and is one small room with maybe 5,000-8,000 books
4. The lady I saw in Central Park carrying her dog in a baby sling. It was a Shih tzu and his back was against her chest and his legs were dangling out the leg holes in front. Somebody forgot to explain "walk the dog" to her.
5. The nannies in Central Park - girls, Nanny Diaries is right on! They're EVERYWHERE! Old, young . . . they gather in groups and let the kids play while they talk about nanny troubles. I was having my own Nanny diary moment thinking - man, that job would be way better than being a lawyer! I snapped out of it. . . Thank you Annie Braddock, for teaching me that other peoples' children are not fun to be with 24/7.
Hmm. I know there is more, but I'll save it for another post.

I love Central Park...Ryan & I want to come visit sooo badly! How exciting to beable to live in a New city like that (we are seriously so jealeous of you guys). Keep us posted on all the fun stuff going on there, & really let us know when would be a good time to come (maybe when Garrett has a break from school). I will get a nanny to come stay with the kiddos.
That's really cool you guys live in New York. I think your apartment is really nice and big especially for a New York apartment. I've heard horror stories about NY apartments.
