After spending time in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge) Brooklyn, we came up with the conclusion that DUMBO is what Soho was in the '80s—brand new, exciting, and filled with chic, intelligent, artsy trendsetters. And did we mention the shopping? Incredible! Here's our top 5 shops in DUMBO:
1. Powerhouse Books - One of the best bookstores we've seen. They're known for their ultra cool built-in arena, which they use to showcase a series of exhibitions and performances in art—fusing all areas; photography, design, fashion, pop culture, advertising, music, dance, film and television. We felt a rush when we got a glimpse of Marc Jacobs set-up materials.
2. Blueberi - The latest Beri from Suewayne Brown. A well-edited collection for the sophisticate. They carry European faves like Anglomania Vivienne Westwood and Sonia by Sonia Rykiel as well as exceptional local designers like Sweet William. They're on 143A Front Street.
3. Nos Shoes - You're sure to find a pair of sexy shoes here. And owner Racquel Nosworthy makes sure to add a little funky to the mix. She carries sought-after brands like Pour la Victoire, Corso Como and Matiko.
4. Zoe - You'll find the latest from the runway in this luxurious 3,500 sq. ft boutique stocked with Lanvin, Matthew Williamson, Rag & Bone and other Splendora favorites. We've seen pieces here that aren't even available in Manhattan.
5. Pomme- Sweet store for the kids with fun finds from all over the globe. They carry exquisite toys, clothes and home decor. Great place for those last-minute baby shower gifts.
