Working in Brooklyn makes me one of the happiest girls ever. I've always loved Brooklyn more than I could say, so much that I got the bridge tattooed on me.
It has a life all it's own and it gives me this comfort and warmth I don't feel any place else.
This week I made stops at two places that really are nothing you'd think to be special. One is a grocery store and the other is a florist, but when I'm at either place I love the character so much and the buzz around them.
I just feel so at home and excited whenever I'm there.
My go to Grocery is Brooklyn Fare. They literally have every single type of food you could think of, they have all the regular things you'd find at a chain grocery plus specialty items. My favorite window to look in though is their confections. They're the most perfect little treats and chocolates. They almost don't look edible or like I'd want to even because it'd ruin how beautiful they are.
The other stop I made was to Opalia. The local florist. The way they have their plants and vases set up is so unique and inviting. It makes everything look so interesting and you don't feel like you're in just a florist. It's a place where you just want to walk in and look at the plants and arrangements. Everything is super beautiful.
If you're ever in Boerum Hill you should take a look in either of these places, you can definitely find things here you can't in others.
