This semi-suburban oasis is popular with young families and filled with mom-and-pop shops: a “more grown-up” part of the Brooklyn borough. That’s not to say it has no edge; amongst the cheesemongers and competing Italian bakeries are plenty of stylish shops, trendy bars, and restaurants lauded by true foodies. Well-maintained brownstones and carriage houses date back to the 1800’s and offer an instant time warp into tree-lined, classic New York.
Walk into one of City Foundry’s three storefronts and you’ll find yourself immediately transported to a vintage wonderland unlike any other. The myriad lamps, chairs, art pieces, and unusual decor have been carefully curated over years by the owner who has a discerning eye for industrial and mid-century treasures. The next time you’re in Boerum Hill, why not fall down the rabbit hole and into the arms of a studded wingback chair.
