The stuff at Beacon’s Closet is a little used, but mostly on the cool side, and who can argue with a pink plastic tree? The store has three locations: Park Slope, Williamsburg, and Manhattan. I like the one that’s convenient.

Already, I can feel the cash flying out my pockets this weekend, and I know I’m not alone. This store, on the cool side of Smith Street near Atlantic, could take care of many of your shopping needs, if you like to give pillows, hand-knitted items, and clothing that says Brooklyn on it.

Goorin Brothers is a small chain. They’ve been in business for over a hundred years, but only in Brooklyn since hipsters needed hats.

Having a coffee on Church Ave.

Rent is high on Church Avenue around East 3rd; that’s why some stores turn over so quickly. What moves in: nail salons, cell phone stores, and junky clothing places.

Fulton Mall, run down & under repair

Posted in Misc, tagged , , , , on February 21, 2011| 1 Comment »

When every third store is a cell phone store, you can be sure you won’t be seeing a Saks Fifth Avenue soon. Fulton Mall still its Macy’s; if that were to go, the shopping area would really be in trouble.
