Forget about Jeff Bezos owning Long Island City. Thanks to old and new friends,\u00a0 <\/span>on Thanksgiving we dined at the Dumbo House in Brooklyn. Dumbo House is part of the London Soho chain, launched in 1995. It\u2019s a club for the creative. You can spend the day at the Dumbo House wrapped around your camera, computer, choreography, art or film. Delicious food is served all day long in a perfect buffet style setting. On Thanksgiving\u00a0 <\/span>I had delicious shrimp and oysters followed by ham and all the fixings and my favorite, pumpkin pie. From the windows you can track visitors on the Brooklyn Bridge. From our table, we saw that for once the bridge wasn\u2019t crowded. I took out my iPhone and was asked to put it away. I looked around at the bustling scene. Not an iPhone or camera in<\/p>\n

sight.\u00a0 <\/span>People were talking to each other. Imagine, a club that\u2019s glamorous and respects your privacy. Our generous host had a surprise for us. After dinner we walked through Dumbo to a hotel overlooking the East River. We took the elevator to the fifth floor where we entered a charming bedroom complete with champagne, wine and a view of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. We had a marvelous time talking about old and new adventures.<\/p>\n

Only the best Thanksgiving ever!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
