Marjorie was very hospitable. I was only in NY for a day, so she gave me some ideas for a nice walking tour of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Red Hook is an interesting dichotomy of development and undeveloped properties; there is a bodega on every corner next to upscale BBQ and Thai restaurants. Her apartment is nice, with a spare room in the back that has a really nice fan to beat the heat in the summer. The only criticism I have is that the mattress could be more comfortable. Other than that, everything was great. Thanks Marjorie!
