Sugar Shop - Brooklyn Sweetness


Last week during Memorial Day weekend here in the US, my daughter and I took a nice walk in Cobble Hill in Brooklyn. We walked on Court Street on our way to one of the local playgrounds, and on our way saw a cute sign pointing us toward a sweets shop on Baltic Street. Since we are both doomed with a very powerful sweet tooth we had to check it out. That is how she and I discovered our newest favorite candy store, Sugar Shop. This place much like Deweys in Dumbo, features some old time favorites like salt water taffy and other items like Big League Chew, Pop rocks and other candy bars. There is a little bit of everything for everyone so if you have a sweet tooth and love the feel of those old time sweet shops this is the place for you. I also have to comment on the lovely employee who helped my daughter and I, Candace. Not only was she friendly and helpful, but she also has awesome taste in vintage t-shirts. Check her out below sporting a great Voltron one.

What Do Star Wars and Doughnuts Have In Common?

  


OK so I am a total sci-fi geek but Star Wars is an undeniable blockbuster of this genre. However to my shame I had not idea that there was an actual Star Wars day. May 4th for whatever reasons (maybe a pre Cinco de Mayo deal) has been denominated as such. 

Today I woke up to a lovely post from Gothamist with a picture of a doughnut semblance of none other than that Jedi master we all love, Yoda. Needless to say I had to find out what this was about. To make a long story short, Dun-Well Doughnuts in Brooklyn is getting the Star War Celebration on with a bunch of doughnuts themed after the movie characters. The Yoda Doughnut is just the tip of the ice berg baby! 


My daughter has already commanded we go, so I will be there bright and early with my little one to make sure we get some of these yummy treats. May the force be with you.

The GoogaMooga Festival


I just got an announcement of this event via facebook. After reading what the event is all about and that Baohaus is going to be one of the food vendors at it, I am definitely going to be making my way to it. Not that I have to go very far for it.

If you are living in Brooklyn or planning to visit New York around May 19 & 20, I would recommend you try to go to it. Pre-registration is required. Here is a link to the GoogaMooga festival website so you can learn more about what it is and who will be participating.
