Song for the road:

NINA SIMONE - SINNERMAN by FELIXDAHOUSECAT

Deee-Lite - Groove is in the heart
Enjoy a video clip full of vibes, color and funk.

They should have named it ... Paradise.
Now that Fall arrived with its grey moods, its chilly evenings, you'll need something to boost you UP!

This is just an excuse to go back to the Chocolate Room.
Located on 5th avenue in Brooklyn this is THE place to get your chocolate dose to feel better - hey, it's scientifically proven that chocolate is good for your health and mood -  so be rational for once ;)

And it is in front of one of their Amazing Chocolate Mousse that a Star is born.
Yeah ! I got interviewed there, about my blog and my life in Brooklyn NY.
Here's the website -Madmoizelle- that published every crazy french word I said with my mouth full of chocolate!

And if you don't like chocolate go enjoy their teas and the very nice set.

The Go! Team  -  Bottle Rocket
They released a new album September the 10th.
Check their myspace !

I spent my sultry Sunday afternoon in Red Hook - Brooklyn.
Not in the huge and brand new IKEA... but on the Waterfront with its old warehouses.
In the streets where wild grass and sunflowers grow between the cobbles, where everything is rusty, where old cars are part of the set.[ Red Hook Gallery ]

Everything is so inspiring... such a contrast with the city.
A place that should be kept as a secret...
I guess it's too late now... the Swedish are already there...
So that's why you have to go before it's too late !

In the middle of this the BWAC (Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition) organizes "Art in Free Fall" - a free art exhibition with bands, dancers, installations from September 13th to October 26th.

Still need another reason to go ?
Ask for Steve's Key Lime Pies !

I took that picture at Coney Island last weekend.

That sign can be found on the walls surrounding the famous Cyclone rollercoaster.
Unfortunately, it was the last day of Astroland Park... (more)
That sign just lost its purpose...

By the way, I survived the Coney Island Cyclone !

Summer is coming to an end.. no fireflies in the park anymore, the sky is dark around eight, no softball or kids playing...
Can't wait for the orange-reddish colors to arrive.

My mother just got a new digital camera and is very happy to send me photos from Home...
the family, the village, the area and desserts from my parent's bakery...
and I don't know why but I suddenly feel soooo nostalgic... sigh.

So here's a piece from Home on my blog... an illustration of a stork... Alsace's emblem.
