I always enjoy the New York Times feature on how famous-ish folk spend their Sundays, although I often don’t always buy its breezy curated pseud0-glamour and am sometimes a smidge jealous of all that hi-low routine and relaxation. But, finally getting to the weekend pages a few days late this week, I stumbled onto one I can relate to and almost replicate with proper motivation—a chic travelogue to my own neighborhood!
If you missed it, check out the NYT feature on the Sunday life of Chris Perfetti, who plays a sixth-grade teacher on the mockumentary show Abbott Elementary. When he’s not filming on the left coast, Perfetti’s living about half time in a walk up near Atlantic Avenue in New York City’s greatest neighborhood—-Brooklyn Heights.
Perfetti takes us on a tour of local faves like coffee at Salter House, running and picnicking in Brooklyn Bridge Park, treats from L’Appartement 4F and a sad, late discovery about the demise of Perelandra. (Yes, R.I.P. indeed, friend.) Onward he jaunts to Pips, Popina, Henry Public, Montague Diner and Montero Bar and Grill.
Man has good taste. Eats well. Sleeps late. Boom–Brooklyn.
I don’t know where he’s getting all those salad greens, but I’m guessing the stalwart Key Food or Trader Joe’s.
Read it online, in your recycling bin or anywhere else you get this weekend’s news a few days late like me.
