Greenflea FLEA MARKET Columbus Ave at 76th street

MONICA and her mom….TINA.  Two sweet ladies……….sharing their smiles and “finds” at my favorite Flea Market in Manhattan.

In Paris they call it Marché aux Puces…………yes we all know that means “fleas”.

But none of the “treasures and trash” on Columbus Avenue have “fleas”.

BRUNCH in Williamsburg

Williamsburg is just one subway stop away from Manhattan…….on the “L” train……searching for the BEST HAMBURGER in Williamsburg.

The empire State Building…………a King Kong’s favorite hangout………as seen from williamsburg.

Went inside….went right back out.  To crowded.  Too loud.  No hamburher here!

Dropped in at MIRANDA …..and no hamburgers on the menu.  Had a green tea.

Then an expresso. Did not get 50 cents off……did not bring my own mug.

Down to the East Rivers EDGE…….a new condo…….mostly SOLD.

FREE PALESTINE??? !!!

Time for a burger at TEDDY’S BAR & GRILL…….with our friend Matt.  Founf my perfect hamburger….but not the fries!  Too dry.
