City Mitten

So the rest of my Saturday hanging out with Joe was pretty fantastic too.

Went to Williamsburg. Checked out the park which was closed (boo). Then we walked down this super sketchy road and there was no one in sight and I kept making jokes about us dying. For realz. Cause there was no one. But we finally made it to our destination: Miss Favela, a hidden gem if I’ve ever seen one.

Brazillian food, Brazillian drinks, Brazillian people and Brazilian dancing. That’s all you need to know. Not ten seconds had I walked into the door (with Joe, btw) did some guy start teaching me how to samba. Ha! This is really a great place, somewhere I want to go back to so I can dance like a fool and dance with a stranger. The whole atmosphere was fanfreakingtastic, everyone was happy, everyone was moving and everyone was probably willing to be your friend. They have live music a lot I guess, but the DJ was rockin’ it pretty well on this night. Joe and I danced for a bit and he twirled me around but I need to go back when I’ve got my dancing shoes on.

After Miss Favela, we drove back toward my hood and on our way, what did I see out of the corner of my eye???

Junior’s Cheesecake! I knew of this location in Brooklyn (the original Junior’s) and had never seen it for myself and then there I was and there was it. Score! So I made Joe cut off traffic for the second time in the night and pull over so I could check it out.

Went inside and got a piece of plain to go. One day I’ll be more adventurous but for now the plain is good enough for me. I haven’t even eaten it yet but I’m pretty happy to know that I have it waiting for me in my fridge.

So now you have my complete Saturday night. Thank you Joe and thank you Brooklyn, again, for such a very nice time.
