It’s NOT just Dance

December7

If it weren’t for the countless sleepless nights before Thursday, September 30th, I’d easily be able to stay awake and watch all the dances without the intermissions. This was my first dance show that I’ve attended and although I’m used to intermissions during Broadway plays, I felt that in a dance there shouldn’t be an […]

Nostrand Avenue and Avenue Z before sunrise

December7

Nostrand Avenue is part of Sheepshead Bay between Emmons Avenue and Avenue U. It’s a major strip where you can find anything from supermarkets to Chopstix, the best Chinese food in Brooklyn, to Radio Shack, or the local deli. This is usually a busy intersection because there is a B36 and B44 bus stop on […]

Che Guevara: The Death and Rebirth of an Icon

December6

It caught my attention that an entire section in Cuba In Revolution was devoted to one man, Che Guevara, a major figure in the Cuban Revolution. I managed to sneak a picture of one of the never-before-seen images of Che’s death in Bolivia in 1967. This photo captures Che at his deathbed. The blood stains […]

Hungry? No Problem!

December6

Roll n Roaster is a Sheephead Bay local favorite. This joint is always packed at nighttime with people of all ages dining in. My personal suggestion would be a classic Roast Beef sandwich with an order of cheese fries. You can’t go wrong with that order and you’ll fit right in. Don’t worry about the […]

Mr. Castro and Mr. Khrushchev

December5

This photograph caught my eye because of Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev. I’ve read and learned about both of these historical figures, so I was awed to see both of them together in a real photograph. I thought how this picture made it possible for me to imagine them as real people and not just […]

Name says it all

December5

After a nice stroll down Emmons Avenue, be sure to stop by and check out Dessert Palace. They have a wide assortment of Gelato flavors. My personal favorite is Mango. This is a must try for first timers. Dessert Palace gets pretty crowded at night, especially during summertime, but they have great outdoor seating for […]

Sheepshead Bay Do’s & Dont’s!

December2

DO’s: After recently closing due to a fire from a restaurant above, Loehmanns finally reopens! If you’re on Emmons Avenue and want to get some shopping done or need somewhere to go to kill time, I suggest you visit Loehmanns. This is a very popular local clothing store, because of its wide array of designer […]

Rigoletto – Season Opener

November17

Not only was Wednesday the Metropolitan Opera’s 2010-2011 season premiere of Rigoletto, but September 29th was also my first experience of watching an opera at the Met. The venue’s grandeur amazed me with its oversized sparkling chandelier hanging down in the lobby, vast auditorium, and overall elegance. I am happy to have had the chance […]
