Post Office

I read about Post Office on Tasting Table & Immaculate Infatuation, but it wasn’t until I realized that a good friend lived around the corner that I decided to take the trip out to BK.  It was surprisingly painless to get there from the East Village (Post Office is by the Marcy Av J, M, […]
