Jump-Start Your Relationship in Sunset Park

According to Time Out New York, the place to put a little pizazz into your long-term relationship is Sunset Park. If you start out here and work your way south, you'll dispel all worry about the solidity of your love. Start out with Ba Xuyen (the article points out that the veggie only option is yummy. Didn't I tell you?), throw in some bludgeoned bass, buy squid on a stick, and you're set. Isn't that true for any romantic relationship?

Check out their suggestions. I'd make a few adjustments, but it's a good walking tour with bountiful pit stops and views. Good effort, TONY.

Touring Walkers in Sunset Park


I would have loved to attend this walking tour of Sunset Park, but several circumstances beyond my control prevented it. However, on a quick walk through the park, I did spy the lucky folks who were able to learn about WPA buildings, the first coops in New York City, and the architectural gems that are sprinkled (quite liberally, I think) throughout our neighborhood.

The group looked chilly, but interested in what Joe Svehlak, the guide, had to say. Hopefully there will be another walking tour of SP in the future. If anyone went on the tour, I'd love to hear a review/rundown!
