Map of DUMBO

(click the image for bigger version)
I drew this map to show my favorite things in one of my favorite neighborhoods; DUMBO, Brooklyn.  The map was finished shortly before Storm Sandy ravaged the city.  So far it sounds like DUMBO is going bounce back but it's going to take a lot of support. If you have a fondness for this neighborhood as well, you can check out dumbonyc.com to keep tabs on restoration progress and ways to help!

They Draw and Travel Some More


(click the image for bigger version)
I just finished another Brooklyn map for They Draw and Travel.  This map shows a neighborhood in Brooklyn I have lived longer than any other in my life.  It was hard to edit for this map because there is so much more I could show you that is fun and cool about this place.  If you ever come to this area, Saturdays are great for also checking out the Brooklyn Flea and the Farmer's Market in neighboring Fort Greene.  There is amazing food/drink and cool little shops in the Bed-Stuy/Clinton Hill/Fort Greene 'hoods (Bed-Stuy and Fort Greene sandwich Clinton Hill East-ish and West-ish )along Fulton Avenue, Dekalb Avenue and Myrtle Avenue. But don't miss out on some central Clinton Hill treats off the main food drags.  Locanda Vini e Olli,  Le Grand Dakar, Choice Market and Choice Greene are not to be missed for dining and coffee.
