One of the things I love most about living where I do -
Some mornings, when I wake up early (as I have been lately, to make a cup of tea and sit and write), it is quiet enough outside that the music Tom's Restaurant pipes gently onto the street floats into my open window. I like living by Tom's for the smell of bacon and oats and, my favourite, the Danish pancakes (with lemon, ricotta, and blueberries), that seeps through our walls and into our apartment every morning, but the best part is that they play old standards, mostly, and yesterday it was "I'll Be Seeing You," strange and outdated and totally misplaced in this Brooklyn neighbourhood. And it was perfect.
