Colonie

Jamie and I had a fabulous dinner at Colonie last night, courtesy of our wonderful friend Jamie Burgess (thank you!!). It's a really cute spot, dimly lit with plants, an open kitchen, and a friendly staff. If anyone is looking for a great restaurant in Brooklyn Heights, this is a perfect choice. The grapefruit chili margarita is an excellent cocktail choice.

Cafe LULUc

Jamie and I wandered down quiet, snowy Smith Street Saturday morning looking for a good brunch spot and stopped into Cafe LULUc. It was a bustling French bistro-style spot and there was one table for two available - perfect. We sat down around 11 and within a few minutes there was a line of people waiting to sit. Neither of us willing to compromise on getting something different, we both ordered the french toast. Yum! It was brioche french toast and it was so fluffy and light, and the berries and apple compote were a great addition. I ate the entire thing and probably could have had more (and it was big). We also got some sausages on the side that were tasty. If you're looking for a cute brunch spot in Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill/Carroll Gardens, Cafe Luluc is fab.
