Whenever I am in New York I loved to go to the Brooklyn Flea. Not only do they have fun finds but they always have great food. This time we tried some new places. Lonestar empire was our first stop – their slow cooked Texas style brisket looked too good to pass up. It was […]

September 29, 2015 Sugar Sweet Sunshine
Probably one of my favorite cupcake shops in New York. I always try and stop here to grab a cupcake or six. The shop is tiny with only a few tables – but it’s cozy, decorate in 60’s and 70’s decor. The shop opened in 2003 by two friends, Peggy and Debbie. The pistachio is […]

September 16, 2015 Lizzmonade
Lizzmonade is located at Pier 1, under the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO. When we got off the water taxi, we were looking for place to get a cold drink.

September 10, 2015 Molly’s Cupcakes
I had head about Molly’s Cupcakes from their win on Cupcake Wars. I decided to head over to their New York location to see what all the hype was about! I loved the feel of this place – and was surprised that more people weren’t hanging out here (I could spend all day here!) I […]

August 18, 2015 Bantam Bagels
I was on my way to another shop when I passed by Bantam Bagels. What first caught my eye was the sign out front that noted they were one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, then I remembered that I was going to get these for Mark and Bekka for the holidays (before I came up with […]

August 12, 2015 Sweet Buttons Desserts
In an oversize world (I think of my iPhone 6 plus) do you remember when tiny used to be so much cooler? Sweet Buttons Desserts carries bite sized cupcakes, perfect for when you just want a little sugar fix (except for me, it’s never little). My logic is that since they are so small, 4 […]
