Bergen Street
Throughout our lives we are trained to listen to our instincts when it comes to finding "the one." When I met my husband I knew that he was "the one". When we first walked into our home we knew it was "the one". When I was trying on wedding dresses I knew straight away when it was "the one." So when we were looking for locations for our business and we chanced upon 464 Bergen Street we knew that it was "the one" too.
When we first opened up the street was a little bare. There were a handful of businesses but it certainly didn't thrive with the kind of energy it has today. Our wonderful block now has the most amazing array of wonderful businesses and we couldn't be luckier to have the kind of business community we do. Where else in Brooklyn can you find hardware, sex toys, maternity clothing, vintage couture, men’s apparel, bikes, snowboards, fine dining, yoga and athletic wear, comics, and vegan food, all on one block?
Last year we all worked together to have a collective Stoop Sale. This year we wanted to do something bigger and better - The Bergen Lot Party.
If you're free on September 10th or 11th, please come by our block - you wont be disappointed!

The Bergen Lot Party will kick off with individual boutiques staying open until 11 pm, hosting in-store events in conjunction with Vogue Fashion’s Night Out and by occupying the empty lot between 450 & 448 Bergen Street for a Lot Party from 8-11pm.
