Living in New York City is pretty great – I am able to run a zillion errands, go to Garment District to check out some materials for the spring/summer line, buy a whopping number of fresh apples at the Farmer’s Market, and also be in and out of the house enough times a day to run into the little tike and our super awesome nanny while they’re stopping in to grab a snack on the way to or from a playdate.
But we miss Brooklyn ever so much! The anonymity of the big city may be convenient when you’re rushing from one place to another (and you really don’t have time to chitchat), but I really miss our old neighborhood, Fort Greene, where storeowners knew us by face or name, where the postman and UPS guy knew our son back when he was just a bun in the oven, and no one ever seemed too busy to smile and pause for some really good conversation.
Cheers to good old Fort Greene, and the streets we love strolling on so much that we named the coats in our Fall/Winter 09 collection after them.
