Bump your ass off

Back in Clinton Hill with Rach, Sam and the girls. Sam took Rich and all the kids to Coney Island for the afternoon (while Rach and I shopped, mooched and ate). Unfortunately it was closed for a private function but they all consumed plenty of candy and had a go on the dodgem cars (named rather crudely "bump your ass off). They ate at a a classic Brooklyn pizza place called Totonos with great food and brusque service. It's been open for 89 years and Rich reckons the cranky lady serving had been there for about 80 of them. Rach and I were certainly surprised to see a car load of our children and husbands arrive at our girls night dinner but much to our relief they only stopped by to say hi. We were lucky to have Sam share his photos with us as he's a hot shot photographer. Thanks also to Rich for your photographic contribution.

Feet and Goldfish

Natural History Museum: planetarium movie about our solar system narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, exhibit about whales from Te Papa in NZ where boys crawled inside actual size whale heart.
Plaza food court for lunch: marble, gold, fancy tiles and fancy sandwiches.
Mac Store: glass lift, thousands of people.
FAO Schwartz: obscenely big toy store. Bought magic set that boys are practising now.
Serendipity 3: crazy upper east side cafe famous for their frozen hot chocolates recommended by our crazy American friends Ricky & Scout. Weirdly it also had a gift shop that sold genitalia gummy lollies and boob iPhone covers and other unsavoury products.
Back to Brooklyn. Looking for somewhere to eat dinner and K read review of Thai place that smells of "feet and goldfish". Don't think we'll go there.
