Favorite Things....

When all the holiday hoopla has come to an end and the New Year has made it's debut, wouldn't it be nice to sneak in a chic and affordable getaway......

Nestled in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn, just steps away from Tres Chic Boutique, awaits a charming Bed & Breakfast owned by former Essence editor-in-chief Monique Greenwood and her husband Glenn Pogue.

The Akwaaba Inn promises to spoil you with award-winning hospitality and assist you in forging life time memories. And I can speak from experience......They never disappoint.

The historic neighborhood of Bedford Stuyvesant is rich in culture, and the excitement of Manhattan is only 20 minutes away by subway or car. Enjoy a glass of lemonade on the sun porch, savor a hearty Southern breakfast in the dining room, dream the day away under a majestic chestnut tree in the secluded garden, enjoy a couple's massage and a Jacuzzi for two in the privacy of your room. This is your luxury getaway in the city.

In addition to Brooklyn, Akwaaba Inn has 4 luxurious outpost in Washington, D.C. , 2 locations in beautiful Cape May and it's newest digs in "The Bayous" of New Orleans.
