i had one of those warm and fuzzy brooklyn weekends. actually, it happens a lot. i love it here, and those days when i have no other obligations but to enjoy my neighborhood at my leisure, it makes me really happy. is there any place more inviting, more quirky, more stylish, more cozy, more sure of itself than brooklyn? maybe, but i haven't found it yet.
here's a few pics i took on sat near my apt. it was a perfect fall day.
i took my sister to the farmers market at grand army plaza. we snacked on foccacia with watermelon radishes and artichokes and drank fresh raspberry apple cider.
we walked from prospect hts. back to cobble hill, admiring the sights and flavors of the neighborhoods.
we made out pretty well with free thanksgiving menu samples from here
i love atlantic avenue for it's mix of old and new...antique shops interspersed with high end boutiques like recent arrival, jonathan adler.
sunday started with delicious coffee from naidre's, an amazing little coffee shop that is a block away from me but i hadn't ventured into until today! i can't believe i have been living so close to a place that sells tofu cream cheese and pumpkin spice coffee for almost three months and didn't know it. i have a feeling i'm going to be spending a lot of time here.
mark and i took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather at the brooklyn botanical gardens. if it's global warming, we might as well enjoy it while we can.
and then sometimes you have one of those moments where you feel so lucky to be standing where you are it takes your breath away...
