THE JEN AND LEK DIET



Lek and I are obsessed with the local coffee spots and Bakeri goods.  It's so fun to stroll and grab things from various places.  Five Leaves is great for daylight hours--early morning breakfast (where you can spot the Mast Brothers, of Mast Bros Chocolate, having breakfast with their families!), brunch and a lazy lunch.  Their dinner hours can feel odd since the spot is small, but you can pre-game here with some cocktails.  Bakeri is so obviously fantastic.  Their treats are so good that everyone is too busy nursing their treats to notice that the guy from Gossip Girl is sitting there waiting for someone to notice him.  

Look out for their galettes, rosemary hazelnut dark chocolate cookies with sea-salt, vegetable quiches and banana breads.

A LITTLE HELLO



My most perfect type of morning involves sweet treats and lattes.  This one is from a little Norwegian bakery just a tap dance away from us.  Bakeri (not Bake-er-eye, but Bahk-ree: a mistake we told ourselves we never made inside the place, no no I refuse to think about it!) is like a dream within a dream.  A hole in the wall with beautiful girls baking in vintage blue jump-suits and silk scarves in their hair, plates of quiches, breads, cookies comparable to Levain Bakery (we have a funny story about this place too) and ceilings with vintage textiles.

Perfect!
