Here's Part II of visiting my cousin, Cathy from Petite Therapy, in Brooklyn and New
York City this weekend.

Continuing into Saturday night, my cousin and I met up with my friend Heather for dinner at Market Table in West Village. We shared the heirloom tomato
salad and the homemade cavatelli. Both
were delicious, I love heirloom tomatoes and homemade pasta is always a
plus! For my entrée, I got the
halibut, my cousin got the angus strip loin and Heather got the
whole grilled bronzino. Of course we also had dessert and shared the local peach pie with sour cream
gelato and crème fraiche panna cotta with cherries, port wine and black pepper
shortbread cookies. My cousin has
loved panna cotta ever since we had it in Italy last year, but she said this
panna cotta wasn’t the same. The
peach pie was good but the sour cream gelato was amazing! Overall, this was a great dinner with
great company.

On Sunday morning, my cousin and I visited the Dekalb Market in downtown Brooklyn. This market is made out of salvaged
shipping containers. We both got
iced coffees at Joe
Coffee and breakfast sandwiches at Cheeky Sandwiches. The breakfast sandwiches were
buttermilk biscuits with egg, bacon and cheese. The buttermilk biscuit was so good. I also picked up a few cupcakes from Robicellis bakery to share with my
brother and sister-in-law. I
got one cupcake each of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, Abuelita and Lime in the
Coconut. Each cupcake was
delicious but my favorite was the Abeulita, which has the Mexican
chocolate. My brother also mentioned
how moist the pumpkin spice latte cupcake was too. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the cupcakes, we ate them before I even thought about it!

Thank you Cathy for a fun weekend! It makes me think I could actually live in NYC if I ever had
to move there, because there are so many things to do and see as well as great
places to eat.
