around town with the martigs
To contact us Click HERE
In addition to my window shopping spree, Kurt's parents were in town this past weekend which meant I got to do some running around with them a bit.
We had a dinner date set with the Martigs on Friday after work and decided to grab a quick drink at Eataly first. Luckily, I was able to convince the group to pop into Marimekko next door for a moment.
Kurt recently met the guy who did the sound (really interesting, I promise) for the shop, so he told his parents about the science of it all while I speed-browsed all the gorgeous patterns and fabrics. I never knew Marimekko made clothing but now I have added a few new dress pattern ideas to my sewing aspirations.
Once the rest of the group was finished browsing (I could have stayed in there all day!) we popped over to Eataly for a quick glass of wine. The bar area we wanted to occupy was packed (must be the après work watering hole for the upwardly mobile) but luckily they offer glasses of wine that you can wander around the store with. Genius. I would most definitely be inclined to spend a tad more money if tipsy while grocery shopping. You're a clever one, Mario.
Next, we headed towards the dreaded Times Square for dinner. A friend of Erik's had recommended this pizza place in midtown called Don Antonio. They offer a wide variety of pies and even had gluten free versions for Erik. After sharing some super fresh mozzarella cheese, we all dove in to our own pizzas and they were delicious! I'm generally a pizza purist and love red sauce on mine, but I couldn't pass up the Pizza del Papa (the Pope's Pizza) which was topped with butternut squash, zucchini, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil. Mmmmm. I might have to try and recreate this at home. However, that springy wood-fired crust will be impossible to copy. If you can bear the trek to midtown, I would highly recommend Don Antonio!
On Sunday, we all traveled to the Upper East Side to visit Kurt's new favorite museum, the Museum of the City of New York.
The Manhattan Grid celebrated 200 years last year and the museum had an excellent exhibit on the highly ambitious master plan that set the framework for NYC to be the metropolis it is today.
The exhibit was great. I'm normally an awful person to go to museums with because I get bored quickly. This time I tried really hard to read all the descriptions and really study all the pieces. Luckily, I'm a big fan of this lovely city, so it wasn't too hard the focus. It's amazing to see all the images of the transformation from rolling farmland to flat , regularized plots. The Greatest Grid will be up until July 15th. Check it out!
After the museum, we rushed back to Brooklyn and took a long walk through Park Slope to get lunch at Cafe Steinhof.
The weather was pretty chilly and rainy, so warm Austrian food was perfect to warm us up. I went with the Chicken Paprika topped with spaetzle. Delish.
Next we headed to Commonwealth Bar in Park Slope (the Martigs are such troopers to let us drag them around all day!) for the announcement of the results of some participatory budget voting for the district. Sounds complicated but its actually simple. The local council member is letting the public decide how they would like to see a portion of the budget spent.
Many groups formulated ideas and the public voted. Kurt's brother, Erik, and several compost enthusiasts wrote a proposal for a chunk of the budget to go to a high tech compost container and other items to facilitate their compost program in Gowanus.
We were sitting on pins and needles as Brad Lander, the local council member, gave a little speech before revealing the results. Erik's project got the second most amount of votes and was granted funding! Woo hoo! Congratulations, Erik! I'm so happy to see your hard work pay off. It was great that the Martigs were there to join in the celebration and was the perfect way to top off a busy weekend!

wine-filled week
To contact us Click HERE
Vino and I have spent some quality time together lately. I'm always up for a good celebration.
The biggest cheers of the week went to Kurt and I celebrating three years of dating! Can you believe it?! I really can't sometimes :) We always celebrate on the summer solstice and have adopted this tradition of soaking up all the long evening sun we can at Erie Basin Park next to Ikea in Red Hook.
This year I wanted to do something different. I almost wanted to abandon Red Hook because I feel like it is something we would do any other day of the week. It just didn't feel all that out of the ordinary or special for such a noteworthy day. I really do enjoy all this bike riding and beer drinking but I can't claim to be anything other than a girly girl at heart. And sometimes you just want to get dressed up and do something NICE for a change, right?! (I claim Kurt is handicapped in this department because he never had a sister. He claims I have a whole other slew of issues because I don't have brothers. I guess it's all relative.) So I cut him a deal: we would do the Ikea thing but he had to plan the whole event and make it fancy or special in some way. In return, I would plan a surprise weekend trip.
You would have thought I asked him to cure cancer by his reaction to this "impossible feat" I'd laid before him. After much personal turmoil, Kurt pulled out a lovely evening and we had a great time. Still working on our definition of fancy though....
We started a Botanica and both had a glass of prosecco. Kurt got me those lovely yellow flowers (which I promptly let wither in the black hole that is my apartment).
Next we ran by the Good Fork to pick up some food to go and took it to our park. We even occupied a new area this year. BIG changes happening over here :)
We shared Oxtail Ravioli (yum) and a Salad with White Balsamic Dressing (double yum). Kurt brought a couple bottles of New Zealand wine and real silverware and plates and glasses. He was a trooper to carry them around on his bike all day!
While my gifts for Kurt are lost in Amazon/FedEx land somewhere, Kurt was right on time and got me this gorgeous bottle of vodka. He is single handedly helping me build my bar and knows I have a soft spot for pretty labels. This one is made nearby in Brooklyn even!
We technically missed the actual sunset but it was nice to enjoy the warmth and long glow of the evening before heading back to the Good Fork for dessert and grappa. It was such a good evening! I'm going to put Kurt in charge of planning date nights more often! Happy 3 years!
Later in the week, I went to a wine tasting fundraiser for Architecture for Humanity NY. Remember I took my parents to one last summer? Fun and for a good cause!
Wine, knowledge, and space provided by Moore Brothers Wine Company. Snacks by Fresh Direct :)
Then for my half of the anniversary deal, I planned a weekend trip for Kurt and I out to the North Fork of Long Island. They are known for their awesome wine trail, so we definitely knocked back a few glasses. It was so fun! I cant wait to take everyone who visits me in New York (tempting, right?). All the details to come soon!

Hooray for wine country! Kurt and I had such a blast visiting the North Fork of Long Island last weekend. We've been to Montauk before but have never explored the north side of the island known for its awesome string of wineries.
Since it was a surprise trip for our anniversary, I only told Kurt what to pack and where to meet me so we could catch the train together. Once he knew we were taking the Long Island Railroad, he sort of pieced some things together, but I still think he was pretty surprised! Inspired by Jenn, I packed some Strawberry Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for our breakfast. My recipe could use a little tweaking but I'm in love with the concept. We rode out to the town of Mattituck, about two and a half hours outside the city. I wanted to be able to get around once we were out there, so we brought our bikes. It's a little bit of a hassle taking them on the train and we had to transfer twice but all in all it was a pretty easy and quick trip.
I found a great house on Airbnb where Kurt and I could rent a room for the night. It was a short ride away from the train station and our hosts could not have been nicer.
The house is awesome too! It's this huge old Victorian mansion with tons of rooms and crazy staircases. Our host family lives there, so I didn't want to poke around too much, but it seems like a great place. We never even needed to get keys. It was refreshing to just come and go as we pleased and not worry about locking anything.
After dropping off our bags and chatting with our host for a moment, we were hungry for lunch and ready to hit the wine trail!
The main street through town is called Love Lane. There are a few cute shops along it and we landed at Love Lane Kitchen for lunch.
Kurt and I both got the Fish Tacos and they were amazing. When you're at the beach, its pretty much a requirement to have some seafood, right? We thought about asking but just assumed it was local :)
After refueling, we decided to ride our bikes to the farthest winery we wanted to stop at and work our way back towards our home base. I was a little worried about a 7+ mile ride but it was actually super easy and we had the most fabulous weather you could wish for.
Our first stop was Croteaux Vineyards, known for their rosé.
Our host said this is her favorite because the courtyard is so pretty. She wasn't lying!
I've never actually done a wine tasting before, so Kurt and I tried all 6 of their rosé varieties. It was nice and fun but I realized I'm a "full glass to myself" kind of girl.
Our next stop was Corey Creek just down the road. I love that you could see the grapes right from the tasting room at all the places we went.
Kurt was happy to see they have a German wine called Gewürztraminer. I think I had a rosé. It all blurred together in the end :)
The view from the deck was gorgeous. I've decided one if these vineyards is the most perfect place to have a wedding. They must make a killing.
Those two people in the chairs are our "bike friends". Kurt and I ran into them at the first place and they were so excited to see other people riding bikes. We didn't chat a whole lot but then proceeded to see them 3 or 4 times throughout the day. I swear they thought we were stalking them :)
Our third stop was Osprey's Dominion.
I'm a sucker for sangria, so we tried both their red and white varieties.
This place had such a great atmosphere. We sat at a shaded table in a big grassy area. People brought picnics and were spread out in the grass. There was a band playing. They had an outdoor bar, so we never even went inside the building. There was a pretty lively volleyball game going on as well. It was just great to see everyone outside enjoying some delicious wine and soaking up all the gorgeous weather.
Next, Kurt wanted to try one of the places off the beaten path, so we biked to the Sannino Bella Vita Vineyard. We sampled a few chardonnays and then decided to get a bottle because the prices were so reasonable everywhere we went.
Our stomachs were a little empty, so we got a cheese plate here to accompany our lovely wine.
More musical entertainment. For a while, we were the only patrons there and got a private concert.
Most of the tasting rooms close around 6pm, so even though there was still tons of daylight left, we couldn't find any more places to stop to we headed back to the house to freshen up and get ready for dinner.
Kurt wanted to eat near the water, so we decided on the Old Mill Inn.
While waiting for a table, we had a beer at the bar and met some friendly ex-Marines. One is a local and owns one of the vineyards while the other guy is from Cincinnati and is planning on starting a brewery. They were super nice and Kurt was thrilled to talk about Ohio and beer. He was sad when our table to ready and we had to leave them!
Our seats on the dock were pretty stellar though.
We were hoping for some mussels, but sadly they were out, so we split some clams and a crab cake. Unfortunately we were fighting off mosquito swarms throughout dinner and rushed back inside as soon as we finished eating. The food was great though!
The restaurant was a little outside of town and when we left it was pitch black. My dinky little bike light did nothing and we could barely see a few feet in front of us. It was incredible to see all the stars and the moon so bright, but it makes for a bit of a terrifying bike ride. Thankfully we made it back to the town safely and stopped for one last drink at the Broken Down Valise.
The next morning, we got up and our lovely hosts had breakfast and coffee waiting for us downstairs. Then we headed to the beach!
I was so excited to finally see some sand and water and we practically had the place to ourselves.
We were on the Long Island Sound side so the sand was pretty rocky but I was thrilled to find a soft enough spot and just lay out in the sun for a bit. Of course I didn't wear much sunscreen and got burned, but that is just me being a dummy, as per usual. I don't know if I will ever learn my lesson.
The water still doesn't meet my temperature standards but my toes took a little dip to say I "got in" the water.
Biking was amazing. When planning the trip I wasn't sure how distant things would be from each other but everything was totally accessible. Having the bikes made getting around a breeze.
The beach was a little boring, so we decided to squeeze in one last wine tasting before heading home.
Our last stop was the Shinn Estate Vineyards. We were going to need something to drink on the train, so we opted for a whole bottle here too :)
I made friends with the farm dog. He was super cute.
Then it was time to catch the train and head home. I miss it already.
I don't like to toot my own horn or anything but this was such a fun trip! I highly recommend it if you are looking to get out the city for a short weekend getaway. If you are trying to plan a wedding, it seems like a lovely place to get hitched too. Please invite me. I love wine and weddings. And next time anyone visits me here in Brooklyn, I am taking you out to the North Fork. I don't care if you want to see Times Square. You'll thank me later.
