new york

It was so nice being in New York over the weekend. I can't believe how much walking we did. We stayed in a leafy, brownstone-lined neighborhood on the edge of Park Slope, the kind of place where the Huxtable family might have lived. We saw some old friends, had great pizza at Franny's (good recommendation, Kate), were slightly bored by The Darjeeling Limited, hobnobbed with tourists in SoHo and complete foolios in Williamsburg.



Cafe Regular on 11th street and 5th Ave. in Brooklyn was one of our big discoveries, an elegant hole-in-the-wall serving delicious coffee and pastries from the Sullivan St. Bakery. Apparently this is the bakery that you want to name-drop around New York.



The one day we spent in Manhattan was fun but exhausting. We did lots of window-shopping, at places like the Moma design store (below), but ultimately the best part was eating pierogi and beets and latke at Cafe Vaselka in the lower east side.
