I went to the Chelsea Garden Center to outfit my office with plants. I had to thread the needle of finding things my boss would like, staying within budget and choosing plants that can stand the rigors of office life.

The staff was extremely helpful in putting together a plan that fit all my constraints. They also had all the pots and dirt I needed.

Delivery was fast and efficient. Nothing was broken and the plants and trees made it without any damage.

This is a great playground in the heart of Brooklyn heights. It's halfway down the promenade so it's a good stop-off point on an afternoon walk.

The park is well shaded so the environment is comfortable. There aren't any sprinklers for kids to play in, but people frequently bring water balloons to fill in the drinking fountain.

There are bathrooms in the park that are very well maintained and on most afternoons in the summer there is an ice cream truck parked outside.

This is the Citibank ATM at the front of Gristedes. It's conveniently placed at the front of the store so you can get to it without walking around the store.

Unfortunately the ATM is only available when the market is open and the withdrawal limit is 200. It mitigates, but does not solve the lack of bank branches in the north heights.
