on one of the coldest and windiest days of the year (4F-25F), and in spite of the construction and closures of multiple subway lines, three manhattan troopers made their way down to union square station and made their way into brooklyn for a cozy brunch in east williamsburg. these troopers were daisy, mae, and jen (me).
bundled up in our uggs (three shades: black, grey, and chestnut), hooded winter coats, and gloves, we forged through the icy streets of brooklyn to arrive at okonomi with a table that had just been cleared. yay! we were being rewarded for our perseverance :p
it was the usual staff, though the fish offerings were different. today we were offered fat pieces of big-eye tuna, mackerel, and perch, and we ordered all three, along with the whitefish sashimi with yusco and the brown rice with katsuobushi, uni, and onsen tamago. as usual, the meal was DELICIOUS! i wish i could prepare and have this food daily ... i guess i "could" and maybe i will try it one of these days (note to self: learn to make onsen tamago!). the conversation was fun and light-hearted and i wish we could have stayed longer but there was a line of people waiting for our table ~ girl bonding time :)
and speaking of hearts ..
after lunch, we treated ourselves to sweets at bakeri on wythe and north 8th. i got the rosemary hazlenut chocolate chip cookie and peanut chocolate chip cookie. both flavors were pretty interesting, and i liked the whole peanuts in the PB cookies.
next time, we'll have to try a place in greenpoint together!
