one girl cookies: sweet little morsels
i am always on the look out for a good whoopie pie. i kind of like the ones at whole foods that i used to get a few years ago, but since it seems our local 3rd street/3rd avenue whole foods may never arrive, i have been searching for some substitutes. one girl cookies has been the place for me this past year. they often carry mini versions of both the traditional chocolate marshmallow version (my favorite) and pumpkin with cream cheese frosting. small but satisfying. they also carry some really fine and delicate treats including orange butter cookies covered with coconut, spicy oat cookies with crystallized ginger and hazelnut cookie sandwichs with a chocolate cinnamon cream. they also carry il laboratorio del gelato and often offer special cakes and sometimes even pies for the day. in addition to their lovely assortments, which would be perfect for party favors since they also do such great packaging, they have an incredibly charming shop in carroll gardens that is a great place to just hang out, and an added bonus is that it is open late on the weekends. one girl cookies, 68 dean street, brooklyn, new york, .

with two small and darling kids and one lovely husband who all occasionally need some amount of tending to as well as a full-time job, this blog is an excuse for me to explore the streets of new york, with a focus on brooklyn -- my home -- and manhattan, for those great little finds that seem to appear randomly on all sorts of blocks around new york but are sometimes hidden from plain view. i gravitate toward small, beautiful, independent places with interesting things, fantastic and friendly service and mostly affordable stuff (or at least an excellent value) and food that is extremely tasty, reasonable and in a great space -- though taste will trump design every time. to help put all these ideas in one place, i also will provide a series of new york mini-guides. in each of these, i will highlight something fun to do and then give some food, shop and doing suggestions nearby. these mini-guides, soon to be accompanied by mini-maps, will help to fill an afternoon -- where to pick up a snack, what shops to check out nearby and is there a really sweet little park along the way for a much needed rest. and i am always looking for ideas -- so if you have any suggestions for where to eat and shop or what to do please let me know. . you can also follow me on twitter at cherrypatter.
and for those of you more interested in the photos, i have absolutely no photography training and while i have been picking up a few tidbits here and there, mostly i think the credit for the photos goes to my lovely camera. it is a canon rebel xti, and the lens i use most of the time is the 50 mm 1:1:8. i also have a 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 for longer views.

Those look good enough to eat on-screen. I’m not sure whether I’ve ever eaten a Whoopie Pie, but I do know that, now, I must.
