Bella in Brooklyn

My neighbour is an artist, and she found out this week that she has been named as a finalist in an international art competition, with an exhibit and final awards to be held in Brooklyn in Dec 2010. Since we're ex-Brooklyn, she came over last night for tips on where to stay, shop, eat, visit while she's in NYC. We're very excited for her, and had to toast her with a bottle of Maison Lenique 2004. Fingers crossed that she both enjoys her trip and does well in the competition!
