Where do you live in Brooklyn and how long? Park Slope, 3 years
Why did you decide to live in Brooklyn? We're a block away from Prospect Park and in the summer I can ride my bike across Vanderbilt right to Thistle & Clover in under 10 minutes.
Favorite spot to get a drink? It's a toss up between Brook Vin and Beer Table both on 7th Avenue.
Favorite spot to eat? Thistle Hill Tavern to go out or Bark delivery for a night in.
Favorite spot to shop? On weekends when I'm not at the shop, my husband and I like to walk
down Union to Court Street Books in Cobble Hill. They have a great
selection and their store associates are super friendly and helpful.
What's your hidden Brooklyn gem? The back garden of Flatbush Farms. It's the perfect place to hang out with friends and its always the right amount of crowded. Bend & Bloom Yoga off of 5th avenue, and the chocolate chip cookies from Brooklyn Larder. Camilla, my partner, and I never start an important business meeting with out one!
Favorite Brooklyn memory? Any and all concerts hosted by the Bell House.
What do you love about Brooklyn? The creative community.
