Hanging in the Heights

Greetings! Just a few photos taken around our humble little 'hood of Prospect/Crown Heights... lots of cool places sprouting up in the area, like the Glass Shop, which was once a windows repair shop, but recently converted into a cool little coffee joint. Then there's the Park Delicatessen which will open 3/26. It's a flower/skate/antiques one-stop shop which I'm really excited about. I guess the space has been vacated for a while now (it was a deli back in the 90s) so happy to see that the little store front will be revived.

And just a couple blocks down, B and I had breakfast for the first time at Tom's Restaurant est 1936 over on Washington Ave. Perfectly poached eggs, ham and grits, and they give you coffee and sausage bits while you're waiting to get seated. Now we know why the line wraps around the block on Saturday mornings - no joke!

Also, I've included a pic of Chevella's - one of our favorite Mexican places in BK, Oxaca style - and are local bodega where you can pick up a tasty breakfast sandwich in the morn. Happy to be in the Heights!
