cozbi’s a shop that i just cannot get out of my head.   every time i am roaming down court street, which is often now that in gowanus and i really just must get some sandwiches from frankies 457 even if it takes me 20 minutes each way, i have to pop in to see the most gorgeous creations that...

given the extreme pickiness of one member of the family and our constant goal of trying, at least occasionally, to have satisfying meals that we are all happy with, pizza has become our easy food.  no matter where we go, usually it is decent (it is hard to make really really inedible pizza). usually...

i admit it.  although i really love all asian and latin american goodies , i have never been a big middle eastern fan which i think is a little strange.  hummus is fine, and i can deal with a kebab here or there but i don’t usually pick felafel as my first choice.   after my visit to tanoreen...

although bushwich is incredibly industrial, there seem to be some side benefits of being accessible on the l train and located just far enough away from the williamsburg crazy development scene.  bushwick has what some say is an emerging art scene, and the blog devoted to life in bushwick seems...

while not exactly shocking news, locanda verde is now my very top place for breakfast in new york. and i know that it may seem a bit tedious, as there have been quite a few reports about this very subject including this one by ed levine for the huffington post, but that doesn’t make it any less...

available just around the corner from our house at the weekly  park slope farmers’ market, the dream coconut bar from made by molly is rather excellent.  with the lightest of graham cracker crusts, the bars have an ideal amount of toasted coconut with condensed milk and bits of milk chocolate...

Posted by cherrypatter in brooklyn, brooklyn: south, mini guides: new york, park slope on 07 31st, 2009 | No Comments
the northern edge of park slope, which is the edge closest to where celebrate brooklyn! is held at the bandshell, has not exactly been leading the way in style, and tends to make park slope feel and look as dowdy as it sometimes can seem (at least food and shopping wise).    the main drag of 7th...
