Combining biography and geography, the Brooklynography series attempts to create a portrait of an individual and their environment, depict how public spaces become personal, and highlight the unique communities of Brooklyn, New York.
Our first video focuses on local musician Chris Littler, who is an LA transplant and new-ish resident of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
“If you’re gonna eat a dessert, and you’re gonna eat five billion calories, you need to be all in. You need to be 100% present and remember what the hell you’re doing.”
- Allison Robicelli
Let me tell you a little bit about Robicelli’s.
It all started earlier this year when I had my first Robicelli’s cupcake. Even before I bought the cupcake, and I stood before the four flavors to be chosen from at Crespella, I knew this would be different. There were no vanilla cupcakes! No chocolate! And certainly no sprinkles! And thank goodness, because fuck that.
“The bridge between fine dining and stupid dining,” Robicelli’s is a small Mom & Pop (literally) cupcake company run by husband and wife team, Allison (the Mom) and Matt (the Pop) Robicelli, both Brooklyn natives from Bay Ridge. Passionate about their product and their customers, Allison and Matt are bursting with pride in what they do, and maintain integrity and loving care at every level of their business, using as many natural ingredients as possible and producing new, exciting flavors on a weekly basis (did someone say Chocolate Cheerwine cupcake??)
