earlier this year, on a side street quite close to one of the best blocks on park slope’s 5th avenue, a little home design shop opened up. and while 5th avenue does have a lot of great shops – other than matter which is a bit high end and esoteric – there are no real home stores...

silver moon bakery: the place for bread ...

Posted by cherrypatter in bakery, food, manhattan, snacks, treats, upper west side on 04 21st, 2009 | 2 Comments

though it’s only been open since 2000, silver moon bakery definitely feels like an institution and ask anyone who lives even vaguely nearby this is the place to go to get your bread fix. while i’ve never been that impressed with their sweets (though some people claim they’re great),...

although for those of us living in brooklyn and reading the occasional brooklyn related paper or blog, the brookyn flea is everywhere. i don’t think i have ever seen so much press on a market, let alone a flea market. it seems that if you ever need pr, the brownstoner guys know how to...

i have an enormous sweet tooth. i don’t know where i got it, but i definitely know that i have unfortunately passed down this trait to at least one child so we’ll she if she is as crazy as i am. as a result, i am constantly on the search for the best brownie, the best cupcake, the best...

Posted by cherrypatter in food, german/austrian, manhattan, snacks, treats, upper east side on 04 7th, 2009 | 1 Comment

sometimes it’s really nice not to feel like you’re in new york but that somehow you have escaped to another world like a viennese cafe for example. café sabarsky is that place for us. located on the first floor of the exquisite neue galerie (featuring only german and austrian art so...

i have been coming to the city bakery ever since i moved to new york when they had this teeny tiny depressing little spot on 17th street that was always chock full of people and incredible treats. they have since moved to 18th street into a much bigger and more pleasant space but with all the same...

trois pommes patisserie: the best jelly ...

Posted by cherrypatter in bakery, brooklyn, doughnuts, food, ice cream, park slope, snacks, treats on 03 30th, 2009 | 1 Comment

i have to say that i have really truly never been a fan of the jelly donut. i always have liked just the cake part without any of that gooey stuff inside, and often that was because what was inside was just not that good. i have changed my mind. trois pommes patisserie, recently of whoopie pie...

i was never a big candy person growing up, and while i am sure my parents’ complete control of all sweets in the house definitely had something to do with it, i also never remember really missing it. however, somehow over the last decade or so there are a few sugar items that i have found...

one girl cookies: sweet little morsels...

Posted by cherrypatter in bakery, boerum hill, brooklyn, food, ice cream, snacks, treats on 03 4th, 2009 | 1 Comment

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...

Chickalicious: The First Dessert Bar Liv...

Posted by cherrypatter in east village, food, ice cream, manhattan, treats on 02 11th, 2009 | No Comments

for our 10th anniversary weekend, we definitely indulged and spent two nights at the cooper square hotel (which i highly recommend for anyone wanting to pretend to be an east village hipster) and had a great time hanging out, eating everywhere and just trying to figure out what to do with all our...

about

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.
