I have a love/hate relationship with the gentrification of our neighborhood. On the one hand, it's exciting when cute new cafes, restaurants and shops open up just a stone's throw from our apartments. On the other hand, it means our area is becoming less of a neighborhood and more of a tourist attraction, as the influx of Manhattanites make their way east from Bedford - the first stop on the L train.
I'll be the first to admit that I went from living in Manhattan and being a total Manhattan snob to the worst kind of Brooklyn die-hard who goes into the city so infrequently on the weekends that, on the rare occasion I do venture in, I receive a notification from my bank that "due to suspicious activity my card is suspended" until I confirm that I am, actually, outside of Brooklyn. True story.
The point is, an adorable french bistro is now located a block from Lauren's apartment, and Lauren (the biggest Francophile I know) insisted we try it immediately. I fell in love with the bright accents on the exterior and the slightly-worn vintage tiles on the inside that called to mind a cafe you would find in a small town in the country. Utterly charming, and probably a spot we'll frequent more often. Did I mention it's BYOB?

I love your cardigan! That cafe looks delish xxx
ReplyDeleteHahah "suspicious activity", oh how people change. I love sweet little cafes too- there's one by my studio called the Bourgeois Pig and it has theeee yummiest coffee cakes imaginable. And it's set up in an old town house, so you feel like you're having coffee at a great-aunts house or something.
ReplyDeleteI like how casual and effortless you look here, but so chic. That sweater looks super cozy- perfect for an afternoon snuggled in with friends.
Okay, a few things:First of all, total Francophile right here! Second, an adorable, quality, neighborhood café is always an absolute gem (and i looove BYOB - something completely awesome about it). Third, I am dyyying over your bank notifying you and suspending you card for going somewhere that is probably less than 3 miles away! Priceless!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit - super cute and that sweater makes it nice and cozy too to keep the spring chill away!
