For our little girl’s first birthday, we threw a party at Jane’s Carousel, Dumbo. We were blessed with a gorgeous day, with everything coming together beautifully for our little baby’s big day.

Brooklyn Fave Places

We’ve been living in Brooklyn almost a year now and really love our neighbourhood.

Coffee – Alec loves Cafe Pedlar. Our weekend walks always start with a skim latte from here.

Cupcakes and baked treats – One Girl Cookie. Their spiky cupcakes are addictive, as are their chocolate whoopie pies and tiny cookie treats.

Pizza – Layla Jones. A rectangle pizza that we get heaped in plum tomatoes. Delish.

Hot chocolate – Bein cuit. It’s a bit sweet but not too milky and heavy.

Chocolate everything – the Chocolate Room. Delish desserts.

Croissants –

Brunch – Five Leaves. This is in Williamsburg, but that’s ok. Amazing pancakes. Wonderful eggs. Was also started by Heath Ledger.

Omelets: Le Petite Cafe. Tasty omeletes and an indoor garden that looks like spring in the middle of winter.

Takeaway – HopHap for Thai. Great fried rice and noodle dishes. Also great roti strangely enough.
