Ana and Sophie’s Coffee and Sandwiches on Court.

Ana and Sophie’s opened on June 6th and has gotten rave reviews ever since.  It’s a cute little coffee and sandwich shop at 194 Court Street, which replaced the short lived Creperie that was in the space previously.  It’s a very cozy space but they seemed to have made the most of it with a […]

New Casual Men’s and Women’s Clothing Shop on Court Street.

We noticed the other day that 195 Court Street has gotten a make over.  The whole building, first of all, has been painted a beautiful shade of blue.  Also there is a new boutique called Marine Layer, which has a great exterior look. Different shades of blue tiles gives you the feeling of sitting poolside. […]

Another Name Change by Former VIP Thai on Smith.

Years ago there was a place at 278 Smith Street in Carroll Gardens called EM Thai which switched it’s name to VIP Thai back in 2011.  We questioned the name switch back then.  Although we do like this place we never loved the name. Well, there’s been another name change.  This restaurant is now called […]
