A Day in Cobble Hill with DeAnna & Martin:
March 7, 2020
There's plenty to see and do in NYC, but we spend a lot of our free time in our neighborhood of Cobble Hill, in Brooklyn. We've lived there together for nearly four years, so it really feels like home to us. For our engagement photos, we wanted to show you a day in the life of DeAnna & Martin, while highlighting some of our favorite neighborhood spots: Swallow Cafe, Court Street Grocers, and Popina.
We'd be happy to show you around the neighborhood and take you to these places if you ever want to visit.
And last, but not least, photo credit goes to our good friend, talented photographer, and all-around wonderful human being, Sydney MacDonald. Thank you!
Walking around Court Street in Cobble Hill, the Brooklyn neighborhood we call home.
Drinking our Saturday morning coffee outside Swallow Cafe. A cortado or drip coffee for Martin, and an iced coffee for DeAnna, no matter how cold the weather.
"Can I have a bite of your sandwich?" You get what you ask for...
Dinner at our favorite neighborhood restaurant, Popina. Special thanks to James, Chris, Shawn, and the rest of the Popina crew for allowing us to come in before service to take our engagement photos!
Strolling down Court Street, en route to Court Street Grocers for some sammies (i.e. sandwiches).
Our go-to sandwich order at Court Street Grocers: an Italian Combo for Martin, and the Droopy (roast beef, fried onions, arugula, horseradish mayo) for DeAnna. Plus a house-made cola to wash it down.
The Droopy and Italian Combo from Court Street Grocers, enjoyed al fresco in nearby Carroll Park.
Brb eating pasta...
DeAnna is getting hangry, even if she's gotten accustomed to Martin taking food photos. Check out the food blog he runs with his best man, George, on Instagram @foodballin
Our favorite pasta dish at Popina, the pappardelle with ham hock and shishitos.
Outside Popina, just around the corner from our apartment.
Food tastes even better when enjoyed with people you love.
Cheers!
For all the days along the way
