Trip to Smorgasburg with a side trip to the Brooklyn Brewery. Lunch washed down with brews.

$6 gets you superior Italian Pulled Pork: Porchetta. Includes some crackling.

Real good mini-cheescakes : BiteMeCheesecakes. Their LIMONCELLO MERINGUE is fabulous.

Still one of the best sandwiches ever made : Bocata.

Brooklyn Brewery tasting room has five brews for $20.

Crazy four-eyed Dumbo Street Art in Williamsburg.

Lots of publicity for this book. Release is May 1. Will pick it up soon thereafter. The New Yorker excerpt of the day of JFK's assassination was riveting.
