treasuring the brooklyn flea

“This is the best lobster roll in New York, I can promise you that,” she said, handing me a warm, crunchy roll brushed with butter and filled with chunks of lobster within, scallions on top, a little celery beneath, seasoned just so.

The roll is reason enough to visit the Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO on Sunday afternoons (and do try one of Mari’s caramel-salt brownies while at the lobster stand), but I also found vintage Lanvin and a Mark 27 with a “hideaway flash” that I think I can use with the same film the Brownie Hawkeye uses (my wonderful friend Eric is inducting me into his army of Brownie photographers).

    That looks like the best lobster roll in not only New York, but in the world! Granted, I’ve never had a lobster roll, but I definitely want one now. Oh New York, how you tempt me!
