Excerpt

On the narrow, sun-dappled sidewalk, businessmen in Brooks Brothers suits brush past women wearing colorful head wraps and African dresses. The morning's breeze is rich with the aromas of fresh biscotti and Italian bread from the nearby bakery, roses and lavender from the small flower stand on the corner, and spiced lamb meat roasting at the kebab shop across the street. You can visit a fish market, an antique store, an Asian grocery and an old-fashioned ice cream shop, all on the same city block. Everywhere you look, the neighborhood is full of life, vibrant color, motion and flavor.
