Matilda, the musical, Prospect Park, Frankie's Restaurant

Our strategy is to attempt to win the lottery at all the Broadway shows we see.  Why?  Because we get good seats and a very cheap price.  The half-price ticket booths basically have crappy seats in the back half of the theater, but if we win the lottery, we are many times in the front row or the loges.  It's terrific.

These are the lottery hopefuls.

This is a very good burger joint which I believe is only in New York.

This is "the great meadow" in Prospect Park.  We took a guided tour on a Sunday afternoon and learned a lot.  This is the park that is the heart of Southern Brooklyn, designed by Olmsted, unfortunately, Brooklyn doesn't seem to have the money to spend on it to keep it looking like Central Park.

 They lost so many trees to Hurricane Sandy and winter storms that rather than haul them off, they turned them into innovative things.  This is a "cave" for a little boy.

At least their carousel has been restored.

 This is a very charming Italian restaurant with a wonderful patio/garden.
