In the morning the Boy in the Checkered Shirt and I got up early and rode our bikes down to the Brooklyn Navy Yard where CBS was auctioning off the remaining sets of the Guiding Light. We looked around the warehouse storing the numerous chairs, tables, light fixtures, baby carriages, a phone booth, park benches, even liturgical furnishings - the remaining stuff from the show's 60+ years of production in NYC (not to mention the 12 years in Chicago and LA). It was fun being in the Navy Yard, most of which is run down and falling apart. Knowing we weren't going to bid on anything, and famished, we opted to leave before the bidding started.
We got back on our bikes and headed south on Washington into Clinton Hill where we found this cute place. Their garden wasn't ready for summer yet, so we sat at a corner of the bar. We both ordered egg dishes and coffee. Then we got back on our bikes and continued down Washington to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
