Fodor's Expert Review By Brooklyn
Carroll Gardens
Specialty Store
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The name says it all. This is the borough’s prime purveyor of dry goods, gifts, and comestibles conceived of and created in Brooklyn. Fill a Maptote denim tote bag stamped “Brooklyn” (of course) with jewelry by Natural Abstract, Mike's Hot Honey (to garnish your favorite slice of pizza or create the perfect cocktail), and Apotheke soap. Other top picks include The Roberta's Cookbook, featuring recipes from Bushwick's revolutionary Neopolitan-style pizzeria, and the reclaimed-Brooklyn-slate cheese board by Brooklyn Slate Company. There's also a Williamsburg location at 142 Grand Street.
