The Deal with Clinton Hill

I had recently had the pleasure of having a meal in the nearby-ish Brooklyn neighborhood of Clinton Hill (thanks, Cathy and Morgan!). Such a great nabe--lots of great apartment buildings mixed with newer construction, funky-cool old stores and churches, brownstones galore, and, best of all, my new favorite bakery: Dough. Holy cannoli! The doughnuts the doughnuts! Get there ASAP (and grab me an extra dulce de leche flavor, won't you?)

Knock, knock

Brooklyn calling.

And I generally frown on Christmas decor hanging around past January 1, but I still kind of like the wreath that's on this door in Cobble Hill. Just something nice about its shape paired the entryway's detail and brownstone-y color. (Maybe they could just change the color of the ribbon?)
