Cool Hunting

This weekend marks the second season of People's Pops, frozen popsicles reinvented with gourmand flavor combos, at Fort Greene's Brooklyn Flea market (http://www.brownstoner.com/brooklynflea/), as well as a first-time appearance at Sunday's Brooklyn Indie Market in Carroll Gardens . The NYC-based popsicle purveyors offer the local farmer's market's freshest bounty, condensed into the form of a simple and nostalgic summertime staple.
Unlike the artificial colors and flavors of most frozen treats on a stick, People's Pops' feature seasonal fruits (and the occasional vegetable) mingled with herbs and other natural ingredients, such as yogurt and honey, to create inventive blends like peach, chamomile and honey; watermelon, cucumber and hyssop; tri-star strawberries and cream; blackberry, yogurt and honey; and sugar plum and mint.
True to the brand's name, the classic ice box-style popsicles were a popular and delectable addition to last summer's food vendor lineup (not to mention a refreshing example of the local foods movement).
As a nod to the greenmarket's recent profusion of rhubarb, this weekend's flavors will include strawberry and rhubarb; strawberry and buttermilk; and rhubarb and elderflower.
Popsicles are all around $3 and shave ice is also available for $2. Visit People's Pops for more information.

by Ariston Anderson Every summer surfers and sun-seekers visit Rockaway, Queens to join the locals in enjoying some of NYC's finest beaches. Until recently, however, dining options were limited to the typical pizza and bar food dotting the beach area. But this year, a New Jersey classic, DiCosmo's famous ice, takes up shop next to Rockaway Taco, a David Selig venture that opened last...
Normally bakeries aren't run by two guys formerly in the advertising industry, but Baked isn't a normal bake shop either. The Brooklyn dessert destination houses cakes like "Sweet & Salty!" and "Oopsy Daisy," "Monster" cookies and giant marshmallows, leaving us thinking guys should bake more often. While we'd love to bask in the glory of these rich, delicious desserts everyday, it's likely best they're...
by Brian HubbardBringing an old world style of butchering to an up-and-coming Williamsburg block, Marlow & Daughters is part of a growing group of Brooklyn epicureans who are doing their part to take food production back to the basics. In this episode of our video series, we visit with butcher Tom Mylan to learn about the whole-animal philosophy, what sets his technique apart and...
Wine Cellar Sorbets are a novel option for dessert or a creative addition to a meal. Made by two childhood friends in Brooklyn, sorbets currently come in seven different vintages starring some familiar wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Zinfandel. CH favorites include the Champagne, a subtle, less sweet choice with hints of lemon and fruit, and the Pinot Noir, which is dry with a...
It's no secret that natural products and petsclusive stores have been gaining visibility in the marketplace. We recently discovered these two Brooklyn-based companies catering to deserving dogs and their owners. Those troubled by feeding their pets processed meat by-products and chemically-laden biscuits can find several healthy products on the market and increasingly more small-scale neighborhood spots that offer alternative snacks for pets. Woof Bites,...
Hailing from the charmingly-named Poundbury (an English village created under urban principles espoused by Prince Charles), Dorset Cereals produces a tasty variety of muesli, porridge and cereal bars. Unfortunately for American eaters, the only imports currently on supermarket shelves are a limited selection of the company's muesli—a mere four whittled down from its range of ten mixes. Nevertheless, these four serve as a ray...
