As temperatures rose on Saturday morning, I couldn’t help but get excited for our monthly For the Love of Brooklyn meet-up! As planned, I scheduled my day to meet out at the famed L&B Spumoni Gardens pizzeria in Gravesend at 2:30pm and down a couple of Sicilian slices before venturing out into the streets of South Brooklyn.
We had a great turn-out of intrepid photographers who showed up for pizza and photos; though after trying a scoop of the amazing homemade nocciola ice cream, I wanted nothing more than to relax in the shade. But relax we did not! According to Barry Yanowitz’s GPS map of our walk (pictured below), our 4+ mile route wound through Gravesend, Coney Island, and Brighton Beach.
As always, we’ll be featuring photos from the monthly meet-up right here on the blog, so stay tuned for loads of wonderful shots or browse the Flickr pool for more!! If you came out for the event, be sure to add your pictures to the pool or contact me to send them our way!
