No sleep ’till Brooklyn!  I am crazy about the Beastie Boys and I equally heart Brooklyn.  Everything and anything you could imagine is at your fingertips, especially when it comes to food – it’s a culinary nirvana!

The best part about having family in Brooklyn is that we get to visit often.  This always seems to satisfy this small town girl with a much-needed New York state of mind!

We make it a point to try someplace new with every visit. This time we discovered Cousin John’s Cafe & Bakery.  The menu here boasts whimsical breakfast pastries, a lunch that brings you dishes of fresh roasted turkey with sweet fontana cheese and the pastries are astonishingly delicate, moist and oh’ so good.

Though the desserts are simple and traditional you will happily wait your turn in line.

I had the carrot cake, the moistest cake ever!

And the lovely Jeff had the chocolate angel food cake, light and rich, if that’s at all possible, well then, yes!

“Cause I’ll be rockin’ this party eight days a week! No sleep – No sleep ’till Brooklyn!”
