Brooklyn Roasting Company

The Brooklyn Roasting Company Cafe “BRC” is now open at 25 Jay Street. As we mentioned in June, there is a coffee/espresso bar with light snacks and lunch at their first retail location. This location also serves as its main roasting plant and distribution center. They also specialize in repairing high end espresso machines.

We searched for the best the coffee in Dumbo by tasting many espressos, but will need to revisit the “Best Coffee in Dumbo” test after the other coffee bar opens at 14 Jay Street. If anyone has tried BRC, please comment below.

Stabber Alley Tag Part 1

Stabber Alley Tag Part 2

These photos by Josh Derr of Dumbo’s Stabber Alley (at the base of the Manhattan Bridge) got some new graffiti, Gothamist first reported. Stabber Alley got some recent fame when people competed for mayorship on Foursquare last year.

The complete tag reads “No tiene dinero pero tengo mi corazon…”, which according to Gothamist translates to “You have no money but I have heart…” which doesn’t apply to many of Dumbo’s residents, at least according to the latest census.
