Brooklyn Heights Gem L’Appartement 4F Opens A Second Location In The West Village

Written by Site Adminstrator on . Posted in Blog.

L’Appartement 4F is bringing its French flair to the West Village.

The Brooklyn Heights hotspot, famous for its sourdough bread, flaky, hand-rolled croissants, and extraordinarily long lines spilling out onto Montague Street, opened its second location at 119 W. 10th Street on February 1st, and it’s the perfect place to pick up a quick and satisfying weekend brunch.

The couple behind the wildly successful venture, Gautier and Ashley, are Brooklyn residents who started their business as somewhat of a side hobby during the Covid-19 pandemic. The self-described “two-person cottage bakery” specialized in handcrafted small batches of slow fermented, sourdough bread and operated right out of their apartment. (Hence the name.)

In time, the operation grew to a brick-and-mortar store on Montague Street in 2022 that offers a charming French-country aesthetic for all those stopping by. Eventually, the quaint coffee shop expanded to include its natural wine bar, Now, the adventure continues into Manhattan.

So what’s worth snagging on your early-morning breakfast run? Well, a little bit of everything, truthfully! Menu options range from pain au chocolat (a personal favorite) and pistachio rose croissants to sourdough loafs, baguettes, and cinnamon rolls. Customers can’t go wrong with any of the options.

If you need us, we’ll be snagging some croissants for our Sunday-morning feast. See you at L’Appartement 4F! 

📍 119 West 10th Street (West Village) + 115 Montague Street (Brooklyn Heights)

⏰ Bakery Hours: Monday-Wednesday 8am-6pm; Thursday and Friday 8am-5pm; Saturday and Sunday 8am-4pm

Punxsutawney Phil & Staten Island Chuck Once Again Disagree

Written by Site Adminstrator on . Posted in Blog.

The beef is back: Groundhog Day 2025 has arrived, and Punxsutawney Phil and Staten Island Chuck once again delivered opposite predictions.

Last year’s Groundhog Day celebration finally saw the dynamic duo agree on the arrival of an early spring. But this year, they’ve returned to their old ways and decided to deliver conflicting forecasts.

Punxsutawney Phil stuck with his initial prediction . He saw his shadow on Sunday February 2nd, and that suggests we’ll be getting six more weeks of winter. (Luckily our winter bucket list is on hand to keep you busy!)

Then we have our native New Yorker, Staten Island Chuck. He did not see his shadow, meaning an early spring is on its way. Considering NYC is experiencing its coldest winter in 13 years, some of us might be be pleased to learn that Chuck is looking ahead to sunny days.
