What are your favorite haunts in the neighborhood?
"We have great local places to go to for dinner, brunch, and gorgeous shopping. There is a new restaurant called Rucola on Dean Street that does a menu filled with fresh local produce and a mean Tom Collins! Building on Bond is great for brunch on the weekend. For clothes, I go to visit my friend Christina's vintage store Mafalda on Atlantic, Beacon’s Closet is a favorite on a budget and I always find something cool for Florence, my 11-year-old. We love going to The Brooklyn Flea on the weekend but the kids have a very short attention span when it comes to the flea. For flowers and shrubs, we always go to Grdn on Hoyt street run by a friend and fellow school mom."
