We woke up early a took the subway to Brooklyn. We walked down Nassau St and peaked in the cool shops in this old warehouse district. Our place of interest was Beacon’s Closet, a popular thrift shop recommended to us. It just happened to be across from Brooklyn Brewery, too bad it was closed to the public today. The area was very chill though with patriotic urban art littering century old warehouses, some of which have been converted in the niche shops.
After picking up a few items we had lunch at festive LoKal Mediterranean Restaurant and Bistro. It was sunny and hot and the patio was calling our names. We grabbed Americanos across the street at the classic vintage storefront of Five Leaves NY.
With coffee in hand on this hot spring day we strutted down the historic Green Point Ave and loved the Little Poland feel of the place.

I love the "graffiti," and that church(?) is beautiful!
Jo,
It's not graffiti it's "Urban Art"... ;)
And that Church is in the Polish 'old world' Catholic Church style... very beautiful. We had an amazing day here in Brooklyn. It just feels more real and less pretentious than Manhattan.
