i always get lost in brooklyn

i think that might make a good title of a memoir one day. 

but, it's true. i like to think that i have a decent sense of direction, but for some reason i find brooklyn to be a maze. i get out of the subway and invariably walk in the wrong direction, turn around, and then walk in the wrong direction again. 

i also get the proximity to manhattan wrong every time. i'll think it's on my left only to catch a glimpse of the empire state building out of the corner of my eye on my right. 

maybe it's time to invest in an inter-borough map?
