As soon as you live in New York for a while, you will realize that Brooklyn is like a whole distinct world and you don’t necessarily have to travel to Manhattan all the time if you live there. You”ll have your own micro cosmos, you favorite coffee shop, brunch place, food market and so on… Last weekend we tried the brunch/lunch/dinner cafe “House of Small Wonder” in Williamsburg. They offer the best matcha cappuccino and homemade gluten free bread and granola. Even though the place is really small, we did not wait long for a table and it is definitely one of the coziest spots we found so far!

Brooklyn Roasters is my favorite coffee shop in the DUMBO area. A perfect Sunday would start with a soy latte and some work for the blog on my laptop. Afterwards, a stroll through the DUMBO area and a walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn Bridge. Afterwards, one can go to Brooklyn Heights for some shopping.

I soon found out that a perfect day in New York City most likely looks like this to me: Firstly, visit the MET and stroll through the impressionism floor (I am a huge fan of Monet, Manet, Sargent, Degas, Renoir, Van Gogh and there are so many more…) and maybe also take a look at the Costume Institute exhibition going on. Afterwards I would totally go for a coffee and frozen yogurt break at the Butterfield Market, one of my favorite food places in New York. The Butterfield Market is basically a fine food store, selling all kinds of delicacies. There is a small bakery, cheese section, fruits and fresh produce and much more! But what I love the most is the open coffee station, where one can fill in one’s own iced coffee with Hawaiian coconut flavored brew and hazelnut americano. I would also recommend to try the frozen yogurt as long as the temperatures allow it, coffee and natural with fresh mango is my favorite combination! Finally, I would go back to the Central Park for a long walk, just …
As by now all of our readers know that we both are huge fans of brunch. In New York, there seem to be many like-minded people thus a lot of cool brunch places for us to discover. Our first insider’s tip is situated on Mott Street, in SoHo and is called Two Hands. The place serves delicious and healthy creations, you’ll have to try the Acai bowl and the Corn Fritters. It’s basically brunch heaven. Since it was Saturday, we waited a little for our table but it was totally worth it.

A sunday well spent brings a week of content! And how could a Sunday be spent than with coffee and a stroll through Brooklyn? We went to Brooklyn Roasters before snapping some pictures near the Manhattan Bridge. I love this area on a Sunday – it is just beautiful and so calm!

Life in New York City most naturally demands a lot of caffeine. That is usually why you can find very nice and skilled coffeeshops all over the city. Blue Bottle is such coffee shop, only selling coffee that is 48 hours out of the roaster, since that is when the coffee flavor peaks. Beans are sourced responsively and deliciously rich in their taste. Blue Bottle coffee has developed a small network of a couple of shops all over New York, for example in Chelsea, at the Bryant Park and on the High Line.

We always love to see how designers create fashion pieces out of different materials than one would expect. Especially, when it’s natural materials, like in this case: this Jord wood watch is definitely an eye-catcher to every outfit. Jord wood watches are hand-crafted and each watch is a unique piece. One must admit, the watch is just super comfortable to wear – the wood is soft and light, it feels natural to wear it and it is highly designed and stylish at the same time.
