Design*Sponge, a great Brooklyn-based design blog has put together a shopping guide for Williamsburg, Park Slope, ‘Bococa’, and Dumbo. Her plans are to regularly update the list with “comments, notes, maps and little tips on where to snag a bite when window shopping.”
“dumbo: a bit off the beaten path but a fun little trip if you have an hour or two to spare. grab a bite at the general store and then buy some chocolate at jacques torres.
- spring gallery: great gifts and gorgeous art
- tivoli home: fantastic scandinavian finds
- prague kolektiv: pricey but gorgeous czech modern and vintage furniture
- baxter liebchen: expensive but lovely collection of vintage and mid century furniture
- wonk nyc: modern, modular furniture
- more shops here…”
Nice job on the compilation Grace! We’re looking forward to further updates on Brooklyn shops.
