Fort Greene for the day



On Saturday, I showed up at Larissa and Dave’s around 11:30, a full morning already behind me, to the coziest breakfast of scrambled eggs, melon, and iced tea.



Fueled, we journeyed to Fort Greene for the flea market where a surreal and forceful wind blew away tents and knocked over clothing racks.



No matter. We still found a shady seat on the steps to eat the best fish tacos ever from Choncho’s Tacos and sip ice cold limeade.





Before getting back in the car, how could we resist ice cream from The General Greene and a walk in the park? We couldn’t. I got the salted caramel with pretzels in a cone.



(In case you were wondering, my heart is still on Commercial Street at Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.)

We also checked out The General Greene’s new market which is full of precious items from very near and very far.



The way it is all displayed, the space looks more like a museum than a place to shop for food.





Anyways, one turn around the park was hardly enough to work off the fish tacos and the ice cream, but we had to get back home to make a double batch of brownies!
