Flatbush Farm

Brunch at the Farm can go into the double D category: daylight deliciousness. I love everything about brunch; the people, the time of day, drinking alcohol before noon, ordering the right balance of sweet (pancakes) and savory (bacon), really it's the best meal of the day. Flatbush Farm in Park Slope is a cozy restaurant that looks like it fell out of a scene in the LL Bean winter catalog. There are twinkling lights, antique wooden bobsleds, empty wine bottles and cute waitstaff. Need I say more?
Go there now. And don't walk, run.

Natalie Bakery

So as I exited the subway onto Grand I was greeted by a brand new bakery titled (in giant block letters I might add) NATALIE BAKERY. Can you believe it!? In the heart of China town, there I am. I mean I had only been there once before, I can't believe they decided to name the place after me. They must have remembered the tip I left them. And by tip I mean high-five, because they sure knew how to make a pork bun.

Spice

I love you Spice. I mean it. You're the best.
This adorable, dimly lit, sexy lil spot near Union Square is the perfect date spot or post-movie (next to the theater) eatery around. The menu is full of amazing appetizers like the warm duck lettuce wraps and huge entrees that could be easily split- but trust me, after your first bite- you will not want to share! My favorite dish is the drunk man noodle. It is equal parts sweet, spicy, savory and so satisfying. The gooey, eggy noodles taste too good to be true. And for only $10 it could not be any sweeter. They also have great happy hour deals on fun cocktails like pomegranate mojitos.
I'm going back tomorrow for lunch. And maybe dinner.
