Though we are still talking through the various options, the neighborhood of L.I.C. remains our most likely destination upon our return to New York in August. Although we no longer own a bar in the neighborhood, it's a manageable walk to Greenpoint, the train (subway) is 4 minutes to Grand Central Station (and the rest of Manhattan), and it has several parks like this one where you can basically leave your kid by yelling, "Hey, I'm leaving my kid". L.I.C. also has the preschool, Little Ones, that Older Dreadful Creature (ODC) attended--that makes YDC a legacy so in spite of his deficiencies, they have to take him! It's a neighborhood where we have no chance of being anonymous which is one of our few trepidations about returning.
