Althea met us at the front gate and showed us around. We planned to cook Thanksgiving dinner there for our family of four, and she was solicitous in ensuring we had all the cookware we needed (NICE Creuset cookware!)

The location is great, near a subway stop, and with many interesting restaurants nearby. We enjoyed wandering down the Eastern Parkway to the Brooklyn Museum, library, and Prospect Park on a nice day. Travel time to lower Manhattan is less than 30 minutes.
