    Welcome to our 'Current Obsessions' series where w Welcome to our 'Current Obsessions' series where we’ll be showcasing the places, flavors, and experiences on Myrtle that we just can't stop obsessing over. First up, a true morning fixation: When I’m on Myrtle Avenue early in the morning the first thing I want is the flaky biscuit with butter and jam from Peck’s. NYC is known for its bagels but a good biscuit can be hard to find. The crispy and salty outside of the biscuit with the flaky and soft layers on the inside topped with sweet jam and a thick slice of butter = heaven 😋(Pro-tip: Pop it in the microwave for 20 secs for an added treat! 🔥) But make sure you get to Peck’s early to grab one because they do go fast! 📍Peck’s 455A Myrtle So tell us…What's your Current Obsession on Myrtle Ave? Share your favorite treats, drinks, spots, or finds in the comments & you might just see them featured in a future post! #MyrtleObsessed #myrtleavenue #myrtleavenuebrooklyn #fortgreene #myrtleave #clintonhill
