On Boxing Day we got to see more of the Brooklyn Saladbowl ... beginning with one of the three Chinatowns in New York on 8th Avenue/Brooklyn (8 is a lucky number) where we had authentic-tasting jaozi in an authentic-looking noodle shop and were called authentically lao-wai (foreigners).
From there we moved through an orthodox Jewish enclave and caught the subway to the desolate-but-famous Coney Island .
A little bit futher along to the east is the Russian Enclave of Brighton Beach where the shops are fulled with caviar and sausages.
And back to the north through Prospect Park is the Yuppy enclave of Williamsburg were we blended in and shopped.
