A Brooklyn Adventure

Hello there! I am going to be attemping blogging again since work has slowed down a bit for me and I miss it!

I am still traveling a lot for work (almost every week) but I feel like I have a better handle on it all and want to share my foodie experiences with you guys since I know you appreciate it.

Today I woke up and ventured out to Brooklyn. I just wanted to get a better feel for the neighborhoods and since I had a free morning and wanted to get some good exercise in, I thought today would be the perfect today to wander.

I got my favorite coffee for the subway ride over:

 

And once I was there, I ordered my new favorite breakfast: Egg and Cheese on a Biali. YUM!!!

 

I walked around for hours which included a trip to the Brooklyn Flea Market. I had heard a lot about this so decided to venture over there. There were 3 levels of various booths ranging from vintage records and trinkets to chocolates and coffee.

 

 

By 1:00 I was ready for lunch and also ready to come back “home” to Manhattan. I was looking for 3 things: good food, Wifi and a bathroom. I ran into Earthmatters which filled all of my needs! I am not sure how long this place has been open, but I would highly recommend it. It has a market of organic food plus a lunch counter. I chose the option where you pay one flat price for a bowl and get to fill it with whatever fully organic salads/dishes you’d like.

I chose several veggie dishes and a pesto chickpea salad. Small pieces of bread on the side.

And a little afternoon pick-me-up: Cappuccino!

 

An early dinner rounded out the day…

 

I sauteed Chicken Sausage from Whole Foods, with chopped butternut squash, 1/2 an apple, olive oil and a little maple syrup. It was a delicious mix with a touch of sweetness. On the side, some raw veggies and Trader Joes hummus.

I recently got a new camera and the file size on my pictures is way too high so I need to figure out how to avoid that. Sorry if these take way too long to load! Tomorrow I am off to Nashville for the week and should have some good foodie adventures down there. See you there!
