Brooklyn Fare
I had gone to Morton Williams for a few years and someone told me about
Brooklyn Fare. So I gave it a try. I originally liked it though finding anything was an adventure. Seems there is no logic to what is placed where. But, the lines were fairly short and the cashiers efficient and usually friendly.
After shopping there and still at Morton Williams I discovered that Brooklyn fare was actually more expensive in many items and that they raise and lower the prices at will. For example, a bagel can be .75 one day and .90 another. When I mentioned that the eggs I like were $2 less at Morton Williams, one of the employees quickly pointed out and handed me a dozen that were on sale and seemingly cheaper except,they weren’t the same brand and they were medium rather than extra large.
Overall, I am pretty disappointed with the place. I am mostly back at Morton Williams with the wider aisles, the easier shopping and the basically same high prices.

Justin did a fabulous job speaking about Charm. I was genuinely impressed by his presentation and his passion. Thank you.
Pier I
I’ve always loved this place. I can’t wait for it to open in the Spring and hate it when it closes in the fall. I’ve always given it 5 stars. Yet, lately, they are different. The morning menu, lack of pastries, lame excuses, sometimes unfriendly service and sometimes burnt coffee has forced me to go to a nearby venue. I hope this is temporary. It would be a shame to miss out on the fabulous atmosphere.
The Ashley Apartments
No, I didn’t move in. I have an older legally certified service animal. I was about to fill out the application for a 2 year lease. Jillian, the leasing agent gave me a very hard time and kept insisting that I have a specialist confirm the animal. I have no idea what a specialist is. She didn’t either. I decided not to pursue. If you are a dog lover, stay away. In this fantastic neighborhood of dogs and kids, The Ashley just doesn’t quite belong.
