Our latest YouTube video: Brooklyn Food Tour, Vintage & Vinyl Records is now live on our JamesandKarla channel!

In this Brooklyn 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 Italian 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.  We would love for you to subscribe to our channel and hit the thumbs up and notification bell and please share if you enjoy the video.
