Earlier this month the husband and I participated in a lovely food tour run by Urban Oyster. The tour included locations in Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill, and we got to sample some truly wonderful food in between strolling around these gorgeous, old neighborhoods. Our tour guide was lively and very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and we visited places that are part of the more artisanal, hipster movement along with shops that have been around since the neighborhood was a very different place. We stopped by relative newcomers Stinky Bklyn for cheese sandwiches, One Girl Cookies for samplings of their little treats and 61 Local for beer and kombucha, but we also stopped by such neighborhood standbys as Court Pastry Shop for cookies and D'Amico Foods for a very good cup of coffee.
Along with 3 other stops this made for a very full afternoon, and we were lucky to have a gorgeous, warm fall day for our wanderings. We were joined by four other couples who made the trip from Manhattan, Connecticut, New Jersey and even Australia. We were a merry group, forging onward with ever-fuller bellies and charmed by these family-friendly, beautiful old neighborhoods where chains seem scarcer and the streets are lighter for their absence.
