Taste of Texas

I have fond memories of weekend mornings filled with doughnuts and kolaches.  Now that I live in the city, a city filled with Dunkin' Doughnuts and Cronuts, a good old pig in a blanket is hard to come by.  To fulfill my craving, I ventured out to Brooklyn to get a little taste of Texas with my girl Kylie.

Not only was did this place have to do for flavor combos, but it was so darn cute!  Every last detail was whimsical and the whole shop was full of so much character.  Another sweet surprise was the backyard patio!  Always an extra treat when you find outdoor eating spaces like this in the city.

I will definitiely be going back the next time I am in Brooklyn around breakfast time, which hopefully will be soon!

We're Back at It

At this point, just expect me to make a post about my favorite city spot every time my boy comes to town.  We have decided to make Balthazar our spot, and we find that it just keeps getting sweeter every time we visit!

We stopped in a bit early and sat at the bar for a bit.

Fully satisfied after a yummy meal, about to cat nap on the subway home.

Brunch Time Fun

Brunch is a social event in the city.  Unfortunately, I don't partake enough.  Not being the biggest breakfast fan, I don't find myself getting all too excited to brunch like everyone else I know.

This all changed after Joel and I found ourselves at a cute local restaurant, The Penrose.

The menu had some seriously good looking items.

My heart was swooning over all the little details of this place

I mean how cute is this pitcher?  Each table had a different one.

The damage actually wasn't that bad!

I will definitely be back to try the dinner menu!
