I will try to post every day, but you never know. No matter what, I won't get very far behind.
Day 1
Breakfast was at a small little bakery called Bread Stuy. I didn't take any pictures because a) I forgot and b) I just got a bagel. It was a very yummy bagel and served to me by a clerk with a great sense of humor (I was accused of cream cheese smuggling).
Lunch we got at an outside cafe at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Don't let this fool you though. I ordered chilli that was more than just average, it was actually on the high end of good. I also shared a pasta vegetable salad with my step sister (who will play an integral role in my great food journey, look for her).
Then (on our way to the next little tidbit) I grabbed a quick snack at a place called The Donut Pub. It was a tough choice, but I finally decided on a boston cream donut that I ate on the way to...
The Beauty Bar! This is just genius, you can get a manicure and cocktail for the amazing bargain price of $10. I started of with something called a Redhead. I didn't get pictures this time because my nails were wet and touching anything other than my drink was strictly forbidden for 10 minutes, sadly the drink didn't last that long. Fortunately for me though I did get the opportunity to get a Brooklyn brewed beer. This was a challenge all on its own. The beer is named Sweet Action and in order to receive a glass you must say, "I want some Sweet Action." In my case this not only resulted in beer but a furious blush as well.
Finally to round out the evening we got sushi. Prior to arriving at the restaurant there was a discussion over liking sushi in which I proclaimed my love for eel. Jenn, step sister, told me I was in luck because at Funayama they had an "I love eel" plate. Once there I didn't get the "I love eel," instead I got the "eel delight." For only $15, this very delicious plate of eel was all mine.
Whew! My first day was amazing and it is only going to get better. I <3>
