- In this Brooklyn, NYC food tour, we take a walking tour around Carroll Gardens and visit many old-school Italian independently-owned #food businesses along Court Street and also visit vintage shops and a #vinyl record store on Court Street. We then walk to nearby Henry Street, where we visit a vintage apothecary turned modern day soda fountain.
We start the day with a visit to Court Pastry Shop, where we go inside this beloved Italian bakery and see all of the homemade pastries, cookies and cakes they make fresh daily. We purchase a vanilla cannoli and lobster tail pastry and also get one of their delicious homemade Italian ices to enjoy on nearby on the steps of one of the Italianate brownstones this neighborhood is known for.
We then visit Caputo's Bake Shop, where we go inside and see their vast selection of homemade Italian breads, rolls, biscuits and cakes and cookies. We purchase a loaf of semolina golden raisin with fennel and a pretzel roll and twist and our dog Hudson enjoys some of their biscotti. We also visit G. Esposito & Sons Jersey Pork Store, where we see the owner George Esposiito and look at all of their freshly made pork sausage, vast meat selection and homemade #Italianfood specialty items. We buy some of their mozzarella, ricotta and prosciutto balls, which we enjoy outside the shop.
We then walk further down Court Street and stop to look at some vintage items outside of Yesterday's News Antiques & Collectibles and visit 2 Silhouettes on The Shade, where we not only browse through their vast selection of vintage sporting equipment, housewares, clothing and knick-knacks but also go inside this packed from floor to ceiling shop.
We also visit Blue Gold Records, an eclectic vinyl record shop carrying a wide selection of quality used vinyl, where you can also enjoy freshly-roasted Brooklyn coffee. We help support this independently-owned record shop by purchasing one of their t-shirts.
We end the day with a visit to Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain on Henry Street where we go inside this lovingly restored 1920s apothecary shop which has been turned into a modern day soda fountain. We look around its gorgeous interior filled with antique pharmacy cabinets filled with medicine bottles, a 20-foot marble soda fountain counter with red swirling stools, penny-tiled floors, and watch egg creams , ice cream sundaes and milkshakes being made by "soda jerks". We purchase a vanilla egg cream which we take outside to enjoy with Hudson on one of their pink benches.

In our videos we will showcase portraits of storefronts and shop owners in New York City & capture moments of city life that capture the spirit, energy and cultural diversity of individual neighborhoods. We also bring our dog, Hudson along whenever we can.
We made it our mission to thoroughly document unique 'mom-and-pop' stores when we began to notice the alarming rate at which they were disappearing. Our critically acclaimed books include “STORE FRONT: The Disappearing Face of New York”, “New York Nights”, “STORE FRONT II- A History Preserved” and “Broken Windows-Graffiti NYC”.

I grew up in this neighborhood and lived with my parents until 1980. I love it there, one day the owner came out of the basement of Court Pastry with a painters' bucket of cannoli cream. I wanted to jump in head first. Best rice balls are from Esposito, people go to Union Street, they don't make them the way the original owner made them. Moretti was the best. For lack of a better word, they're balls. Farmacy, pistachio cardamom ice cream. Red Velvet Twinkies.
Golden raisin with fennel bread? Wow, looks delicious, as everything else.
Myrna the golden raisin fennel bread 🥖 we purchased at Caputo’s was EXTRA GOOD! We highly recommend visiting this bakery if you find yourself in Caroll Gardens, Brooklyn!
The signage on Court Pastry Shop is a thing of beauty!
Food and Footprints thank you so much for watching! It is definitely a favorite pastry shop of ours not only for its amazing homemade pastries and cookies but also for its beautiful exterior and signage!
OMG! At 10:11 i saw the John Stewart Dream Babies Go Hollywood album near the floor in the middle! Love that record!!
Blue Bird thank you so much for watching and glad you saw one of the albums you love at Black Gold Records! It’s a really cool vinyl shop.
Been going to the Court St. Bakery since the 50’s!
I miss my old neighborhood! Great video.
Your videos are my must watch every week - keep me coming :) Can’t wait till I visit NYC next March!
Richie Teh that is so wonderful to hear. We are so glad that you have been enjoying our videos and discovering shops and interesting spots to visit when you visit NYC.

I grew up in Carroll Gardens and Esposito's is the best! Though I'd have to say that Mazzola Bakery on 192 Union Street makes THE BEST Lard bread! It flies off the shelves and is probably the most addictive thing on the planet. Next time you're in that neighborhood you guys should hit them up! Definitely worth it.
Kiss_My_Ascot we are glad you enjoyed watching our video and we can’t thank you enough for the recommendation to try the lard bread from Mazzola Bakery! We must try if it’s the best ob the planet 🌍! Are you also a fan of Court Pastry as we really love their cannolis and Italian ices!
Your videos are a great compilation of wonderful Mom & Pops around the city, I've definitely added places I need to hit up from watching your channel! :) I like Court Pastry but I have to admit I'm honestly more fond of Monteleone Bakery on Court Street.
Kiss_My_Ascot that is so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We will definitely have to plan on visiting Mazzola Bakery and Monteleone on our next trip to the neighborhood. Sam’s was also closed for summer vacation when we visited so we can get a pizza from there too! 😀

Another fantastic video, thanks Karla and James! I’d love to see a video about independent, mom-and-pop and family-owned houseplant shops and florists!
Justice J. Srisuk thank you so much for the love! We definitely can plan out a video highlighting some lovely mom-and-pop florist 🌸 and plant 🌱 shops. We passed by a few in this video that you may have seen in our b-roll as we walked by.

Thank you for the great video, was pleased to see the visit to Caputo's Bake Shop, my aunt worked the counter there from some time in the 50's until she passed away in the 90's I think she was well known in the area, my uncle drove the delivery van, bringing Italian bread to many of the local Italian restaurants in the area, got to visit there a few times as a kid, brings back many pleasant memories.
The lard bread from caputos is THE best!
Oh yes they are the best bakery! And such a nice family too!
Oh I miss good old Brooklyn food…..
This was great. I loved it.
Diane B thank you so much for watching! We are so glad you loved this episode. We highly recommend trying an egg cream from Brooklyn Farmacy and of course any pastry from Court Pastry as they are all fresh and delicious. And we live Caputo’s breads!

Next time you stop by the neighborhood go have lunch at Ferdinando's Foccaria then have dinner at Sam's on court street. Then we can have a discussion!
Tommy Holiday we wanted to go to Sam’s but they were closed for vacation until mid-September and yes Ferdinando’s is the real deal!

Long before it was Court pastry it Ciolono + Sons Pastry owned by my grandfather
Next time you're in the neighborhood don't forget to go to Union Street House of Pizza and calzone and also to D'Amico's coffee shop and Monteleone Bakery
And Mazzolas bakery too
Thank you so much Romanticfool! We love D’Amico’s Coffee Shop and Monteleone and Mazzolas Bakery too! We will definitely have to check out Union Street House of pizza as we have not tried it yet. Do you usually get their regular slice or do you recommend another variety?
I usually get a cheese slice and also they still make fried calzones
Its actually the Carroll Street station on the F train.
Hankster😑 yes you are so right...the Carroll Street stop is closer but we like to walk around the neighborhood as we film and got off on Bergen Street which is a bit further. 😊
@@JamesandKarla understand. The walk around Smith and Court is awesome ✌
And you have an absolutely beautiful dog. My favorite breed Pit/PitMixes/Staffordshires......had them since birth....my current AmStaff is 15yo😔
Hankster😑 thank you so much and wow 15 years is amazing! Hudson is 7 1/2 and would surely love your doggie as Hudson loves making new friends! 🐾🐾
Nice video. you should have provided with the full address if these shops. THanks
Thank you so much S.H. for the great feedback. We will definitely add the addresses in our description as that is something we have been doing in more recent videos. We hope you also enjoy watching some of our other videos highlighting unique shops and restaurants in NYC.
@@JamesandKarla Hello. I love NYC and only been twice. I will come back one day with more spots to visit thanks to your videos. Yes indeed! I saw last you you had added the addresses. All the best with your shooting. Take care and keep safe.
The cannoli shell isn't baked, it's fried.
Side Tony yes so sorry. But this bakery definitely makes their own shells by hand rolling out each one individually as we have watched them do that. Some bakeries mAke their own cannoli cream but purchase the cannoli shells in bulk from a supplier.
@@JamesandKarla yes, even in Sicily a lot of bakeries order the shells from a factory. Which is strange because it doesn't take that long to make.
