Daniel and Katie Move to Brooklyn

On Saturday, July 12, 2008, we moved from Atlanta, GA to Brooklyn, NY. Two weeks later, we started a blog. 

Below are a few scenes from our new neighborhood:


This is the park where we like to sit and read. It is always full of cute dogs and babies.


This is the neighborhood movie theater where we saw The Dark Knight. Katie returned a few days later to see Mamma Mia! (big mistake).



This is where we come to get Chinese take-out. There's a sweet woman who works at the counter and wears a red visor. She takes our order in English, then turns and yells it in Chinese to the cooks behind her. We sit on a bench beside a large potted bamboo plant as we wait for our food. They deliver, but we like the walk there and back.


This is the famous Sweet Melissa Patisserie. Proprietor Melissa Murphy is the author of The Sweet Melissa Baking Book.


Local grocery with flowers in front.


This is Naidre's, known throughout the neighborhood for its smoothies and free Wi-Fi. Katie's current office space.

That's a pretty great looking neighborhood! Is the Chinese place your favorite eating haunt so far?

Only for take-out. There's a Thai place a couple streets over and a pizza place close by that we love...not to mention all the coffee shops and bakeries.
