Weekend Openings: P.S. Bookshop and Brooklyn Bridge Gardens
May 17th, 2010
Over the weekend, P.S. Bookshop and Brooklyn Bridge Gardens opened in Dumbo. P.S. Bookshop moved out of their 141 Front St. location and opened a few blocks over on the corner of Washington and Front Street (76 Front Street). They will no doubt bring in more foot traffic at this busier intersection of Dumbo, but their new larger space (at 2,138 square feet) will encourage residents and Dumbo workers to peruse their used and vintage books (they buy and sell used and rare books).
Brooklyn Bridge Gardens also opened this weekend at 5 Front Street. We haven’t been there yet, but if anyone has been there, let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Loved the new cocktails at Brooklyn Bridge Gardens- they have a Botanical theme, with kind of a victorian old-school feel to them and the garden is KILLER! We stopped in the other night when we didn't feel like waiting in tourist line for a pizza at Grimaldi's .

Brooklyn Bridge gardens wow what a place, such a difference from 5 front. Newly renovated interior, back garden looks amazing and the summer drink list is phenomenal. Even better than that is the food, it was great all in all a great place to go.
