Not That Kind of Prescription: Brooklyn Farmacy
Brooklyn, the New York City borough which I call home, has a particular knack for nostalgia and old-timey-things, which is both strange and pretty damn delightful. From our prohibition-era, speakeasy style bars to our soda fountains and drive-in theatres, Brooklyn certainly revels in the past as much as it does the present. Being a bit of a sucker for nostalgia (especially of things I never actually had a chance to experience), this is something I welcome and cherish. That old-timey sensibility, a love for the local, and a sweet tooth converge at Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain, a cute little establishment nestled in the heart of Carroll Gardens, (an equally cute neighborhood). Austin and I replaced a proper lunch with just desserts - including a "red velvet twinkie split" and a vanilla-caramel-salty pretzel concoction. Our bowls were sent back with loads of melted ice cream left in them, and my mouth was left with a serious tooth ache. The sundaes were good, but way too rich and indulgent for my tastes. Next time, I'll keep it simple! Regardless, the atmosphere is fantastic.
