After missing the Gehry lecture and being in Brooklyn, we tried to make the most of the beautiful day. Walking around looking for a lunch place we were overcome by the intoxicating allure of a greasy spoon that turned out to be Chinese take out. It was overrun by local elementary school kids looking for a place to burn their allowance. Only after we ordered typical take out fare we noticed the most peculiar thing; what I’m going to call ‘Chinese fries’ (get it? like French fries but served in a take out box and with hot and sour sauce – jokes are funnier when explained)
