Little Russia by The Sea: The boardwalk
It's a three mile boardwalk reaching its end point at Coney Island. As we walked along looking for a place to have a picnic, we passed gorgeous cafe's overlooking the sea.
We both finished reading Tolstoy's War and Peace recently, so Tatiana's caught our eye.
We found a pavilion and sat to have our pies.
In this pavilion and others like it, old friends chatted and old men played chess. A biker stops to look over a shoulder while a dog sniffs for scraps. I had never wanted to live in the middle of a big city, but now I understood the desire--this place was busy, bustling, and tight-knit; we sensed a real community at work.
And the views were gorgeous.
Refreshed by our time by the sea, we brought the kids to a park before heading for another walk in the city.
