I have a new favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn. And it’s called Fort Greene. I don’t know whyyyy it has taken so long for me to go to Fort Greene, it’s not even far from my apartment! And it’s legit! Dekalb Ave is restaurant after restaurant and store after store and Fort Greene is also the home of the Brooklyn Flea on Saturdays! Norabear and I went on Saturday to check out the flea and we decided to pick a random spot to brunch at on the way, which is how we ended up at Cafe Lafayette aka Cutesville.
We sat outside and the whole time I kept telling Nora that I couldn’t believe this is what Fort Greene is. I had no idea! It is awesome. And so was the french toast:
It came in little slivers that were perfect to pick up with your hands and dip in the strawberry sauce. Don’t judge me.
Also, this french toast was under $10. The last time I had french toast that was under $10 is when I made it for myself. Dang.
Nora’s order was a little strange:
A side of mashed potatoes and a salad with goat cheese. Don’t judge her.
I love Fort Greene and I intend to spend a lot more time there now that I know how Awesomeville it is.
No judgment at all. I love dipping. If I could have a dipping sauce with everything I eat, life would be just that much more pleasant!
No judgment on Nora’s brunch either. Because 1) I am irish therefore potatoes can be eaten with anything. And 2) I love all cheese.
The end.
I’m judging you both over here…but I’m kind of hungry for french toast now.
i want to know what you ate at the brooklyn flea! lobster roll?!
guess you’ll have to read it tomorrowwww!
(hint: I need to go back)
What did you think Fort Greene was before you went there?
I had never been and I had a friend who lived there and once he got beaten up by a group of people with a baseball bat. And then he told me horrible stories after that too because they wouldn’t leave him alone. So I thought Fort Greene was more of a deadzone.
