i do love great well made leather goods, and if they’re from italy even better. for a while, i was crazy about furla and still have a wallet of theirs that i got in florence a ways back when buying in europe was affordable, and i really cannot believe it still looks good and works. for...

i had heard of this place cloth mentioned a few times, but never knew quite where it was or what it was — some kind of crafty place is what i thought so maybe i just wasn’t that interested. when i finally stumbled upon cloth recently in quest for other clothing stores in fort greene...

general and finds (which until very recently had been store518) joins some of my other favorite little shops and food pit stops (including ruby moriarty and prime meats) concentrated in this great area at the far end of court street in brooklyn. general and finds is the creation of designer...

i had seen shop mentioned in a few shopping guides including this one, and thought i definitely should come by as it seemed like my kind of store — fairly affordable yet chock full of interesting, comfortable, and stylish clothes that i would be more than happy to wear for work or for play. ...

at the point just before carroll gardens turns into an industrial wasteland, the southern edge of court street has become a surprising destination with a few solid food options as well as some great shops lining the end of the street right before the charming entrance to the brooklyn queens expressway. ...

so i am loathe to admit it, i cannot claim to be an expert vintage shopper as i am often times turned off by the musty smell and often the super cramped quarters where tons of dresses, shirts and shoes are all shoved together. so when i find a vintage shop that is appealing that is saying quite...

rounding out my review of that very excellent fifth avenue block in park slope is eidolon, a teeny spot owned and run by three local designers — amara felice, andrea fisher and yukie ohta. while it is small, and the collections don’t rotate super frequently, they consistently have great...

well, i think that swimsuit weather is probably still a few months away (and that is definitely a good thing in my case) unless you have a nice warm vacation planned sometime soon, but this great little store is getting me excited to move past winter with some beautiful bikinis, sexy metallic flip flops...

Posted by cherrypatter in jewelry, manhattan, meat packing district, shops, womens' clothes on 03 5th, 2009 | 1 Comment

while i am not often looking for that perfect little dress, when i do need one it can be a tough hunt and sometimes in the past when i was desperate i would sometimes be forced to visit one of the monster department stores. so a few years ago i was excited to discover darling — a shop brimming...

Posted by cherrypatter in bags, brooklyn, jewelry, park slope, shops, womens' clothes on 01 26th, 2009 | 1 Comment

i know i’m not supposed to admit this, but there are definitely days when i crave manhattan — the energy, the architectural diversity and the style of so many people. i also just miss the discovery of spot-on clothing stores that seem to appear out of nowhere. i used to roam around new...

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.
