third weekend in Brooklyn. Hallelujah.

Brooklyn. I love you. I used to go to New York and get pushed around by Macy's and Times Square, and now i go straight to Brooklyn. Carroll Gardens, Greenpoint, and Park Slope blow my mind. Will hopefully be moving in the fall and cant wait to be a Brooklynite! A few places that I loooove in Brooklyn
  • The Fall Cafe on the corner of Smith and Union in Carroll Gardens is officially my favorite spot to chill. While I rested my bones after stomping around Manhattan all day, two women sat knitting on the sofa in front of me, a couple girls across the room wrote a toast for their best friends wedding, and the french couple beside me continued to fall even more madly in love. Stop by. You'll dig it. 
    • Musurgia is the best music store I've ever witnessed. They have thee best selection of instruments I've ever seen and the most amazing staff. Its a little hidden, located in the Carroll Gardens/Gowanus Canal area of Brooklyn, but well worth the hunt. Getting there involves going up stairs and walking across roofs and when you arrive, you feel as though you've reached nirvana. Life starts to make a little more sense. Go and check this place out. Truly. They will get you hip to some beautiful treasures and leave you feeling taken care of. 

    • The Parlour Brooklyn is one hip-ass salon. They just celebrated their one year anniversary and Nackie Karcher (owner/hair genius/stylish as all hell) asked If I would play and sing at their party. Totally did, and had such a great time. Go and get your hair did out in GreenPoint  at 72 Greenpoint Ave. You'll be glad you did.
