In a sign of the increasingly family-friendly nature of Williamsburg, the first cafe-playroom has arrived next to McCarron Park. Three months ago, Maria Laura and Mariela opened Mamalu, a casual, organic spot with Venezuelan touches. Parents: while you placate your toddler with an organic PBJ and spoon some Earth's Best into your baby's hungry mouth, you can enjoy guasacaca (Venezuelan spicy avocado sauce), reina pepiada (Venezuelan chicken salad), baked eggs, and fresh arepas with cotija cheese (with flaxseed or without). There's also a selection of sandwiches on Pain D'Avignon bread which you can accompany with plaintain chips or a mixed salad. And if you're not in the mood for food, just sip a cup of Oslo Coffee.
When those new condos open on Bayard, you won't be able to get a seat!
Mamalu: 232 North 12th St., Brooklyn, (718) 486-6312.
