Our First Offer. We went to a handful of open houses before we found a place that we wanted to make an offer on. We didn’t go to an open house to “just look” at this point. Every time we went out it was because we were interested after looking at the place online. The […]
We saw this sign a few weeks ago at 225 Smith for a new opening. This new clothing boutique, WP Store, is now open. We looked them up and couldn’t find a US location on their website. They only had options in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. We did, however, find their […]
We saw this sign posted a couple of weeks ago at 110 Montague. It says “coming soon” but since it was weeks ago we weren’t sure if it had opened yet or not. We checked the web to see what Chocolate Works was, although we knew it was a chocolate shop (duh), we discovered it’s […]

This is pretty exciting. The space at 257 Columbia Street, which used to be the postal store, is being renovated right now by the new tenants. It’s going to be a farm-to-table restaurant and CSA called Orchard. That’s such a great idea to have both in one. We took a pic of the outside, as […]
We passed by this new shop the other day in Carroll Gardens right across the street from Buttermilk Channel. Formerly a barber shop, 493 Court street has transformed into a polka dotted kids boutique. It’s aptly named Tiny Brooklyn and the interior is very simple, selling mostly children’s clothing. The outside though, as you can […]
