AFTERNOON STROLL Around 2-ish, Susie and I take Gracie out for a walk. We stroll the entire neighborhood. There is a new store or restaurant in Williamsburg every week, and we stop along the way to check out what’s opened. Gracie gets her exercise, and we get to explore.

SUSHI AND SALAD After the walk, we head to this Japanese place near us called Ako to get some sushi. I’m half-Japanese and can never eat enough Asian food. We get rolls — spicy salmon, eel avocado and salmon avocado — and the green salad with ginger dressing. Whole Foods just opened in the neighborhood, and as another option, we’ve been grabbing food from the salad bar.
