Phyllis and Eddie came to town so Susan and Michael invited us to dinner with Jean in Brooklyn Chinatown at this wonderful restaurant called Pacificana at 55th Street and 8th Avenue. Brooklyn, one of the City's five boroughs, seems to this newcomer to New York, more spacious and less congested than Manhattan. Perhaps this is because the buildings don't tower over the street. This was Aunt Vida's favorite restaurant and Jean was her best friend. I feel she was there with us in spirit and would be smiling to see us all together. At the restaurant, Susan selected this wonderful menu that began with Shanghai soup dumplings.
