I don't know much about Brooklyn but what I do know I like. I secretly plot my family's move to this enterprising and bustling borough south of Queens. Just like Bobby Short sang about NYC, I happen to like Brooklyn, or the idea of it - the families, the energy, the community, the art one finds on walls, served on platters and found in chair arrangements, drop lighting in foyers and living rooms. My cousin Lauren (and her sister Janeen) has been my playmate since the day we were born and she happens to live in Breukelen. I asked her to send me some of her favorite spots. Here they are and one day I hope to stop in one or two of these places and call them home, even for an hour or so. Stonehome Wine Bar and Restaurant: 87 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
