In the flurry of vacation activity, my eldest nephew graced us with his first visit to Brooklyn! Armed with borrowed scarf and gloves (he's from Maine but ain't used to
walking in the freezing cold - they have cars up there), we headed out...
Kenny D had a busy weekend: First, we got all the trivial tourist sites out of the way, including Lady Liberty via the free
Staten Island Ferry and the view from atop
Kong's perch.
Then, the cultural experiment began: The spicy Indian food at
Haveli's was good but set fire to the tender New Englander's mild palette.
(But he polished off that whole plate!)
The next morning, he tried his first vegetarian dim sum brunch in Chinatown. He sampled all items and liked most of it, despite the lack of a fork (no joke - that stuff can be slippery).
Kenny took in some theatre and eyed some of Stinky Town's most impressive loot: Big collections - like the AMNH. And smaller ones - like the Musee de Pacque-Ratt in our humble apartment. Of all the family clan that we've successfully lured down to Stinky Town, I think Kenny will be the first to return (plus, ODA and I promised him a ride on the Cyclone this summer)!

Kenny is the relative that reminds me the most of Big D., a nice young fella with a curious nature and kind heart. And at Haveli, he got his dish medium spicy, a very bold step for a true Mainer.
