7.6.12 Brunch at Tom's and Keith Haring Exhibit at The Brooklyn Museum

The first order of business was a visit to Tom's Diner to sample their famous pancakes and a trip to the Brooklyn Museum to see the Keith Haring exhibit before it was over on July 8, 2012.

Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes (aka The Danish) at Tom's Diner in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.


So, my first visit to Tom's ... I have to say that these were good, but no better than the standard diner pancake. Sorry ... But they did inspire me to create my own version chez moi in the near future. It was a delicious greasy spoon breakfast in any event which I welcome any day I can sneak it in.

Keith Haring Exhibit at The Brooklyn Museum
I love Keith Haring! This exhibit was small, but fun. Who doesn't love some angel on dog action and pics from Danceteria circa 1980? I mean, I'm still in the Madonna camp ... make that the Debi Mazar-meets-Madonna and hangs with inspiring people camp. (Debi Mazar is my style icon. I will track her down and kneel at her vintage-sporting feet one day.) OK. I got side tracked, but this exhibit brings up a lot of fabulous thoughts for me. Enjoy ...

Basquiat snuck in!


I ended the day in my 'hood with crab tostadas from Tacos Nuevo Mexico complemented by one of the best margaritas you'll find in Brooklyn. Delicious!
