Happy Hanukkah to our wonderful community🕎! We hope the celebrations will be full of joy for you and your loved ones.

Did you know that before this building was @deitybar it was a Jewish school and synagogue? Originally a residential building with a commercial ground floor, it was converted in 1917 to Talmud Torah Beth Jacob Joseph! It was then purchased by an antiques dealer in the 1970s, adding to what was locally known as “Antiques Row”. Make sure you check out the intricate detail and brickwork 👀.

📍368 Atlantic Avenue

Happy grand opening to @diljanbakery 🇦🇫! A wonderful and tasty addition to the district. Diljān is an Afghan bakery by the dynamic trio of Ali Zaman and Mohamed Ghiasi, co-partners of @littleflowercafe, and expert baker Bryan Ford.

The tastes and flavors of the bakery will include those commonly used in Afghanistan like saffron, cardamom, pistachio, and so much more. The lamb samosa is baked perfectly with a well balanced richness and one of the halwa sticky bun is simply never enough🤤! Don’t forget to check out their specialty drinks too when you stop by on your stroll through the district.

Open Thursday to Sunday from 7AM-4PM

📍330 Hicks Street

Happy Thanksgiving! Hear what community members are thankful for below 🧡

Rachel and Michelle, Owners of @darlingshopnyc

“We are thankful for such a warm welcome from Atlantic Avenue and our Brooklyn neighbors!”

Shahana, City Council Member for District 39 @cmshahanahanif @shahanafrombk

“By showing up, listening, and supporting the people who make our community strong. I’m especially grateful for the advocacy to make Atlantic Avenue safer—together we’ve made real progress, with more work ahead. Our community’s voice continues to be powerful. I’m thankful for the small business owners, workers, and neighbors who keep the corridor vibrant and welcoming. The BID’s 2024 Ramadan iftar was a beautiful reminder of our community’s care and resilience—and of course, I’m grateful for all the incredible local food.

I’m grateful for the cultural diversity, neighborhood shops, and deep sense of community that make Atlantic Avenue so special.”

Dan and Adam, @artofplay and Board Member

“We are thankful to Atlantic Avenue for attracting such a diverse and vibrant community. We are thankful for the support of neighboring businesses owners (and the BID!) who have shared their experience and insight with us over the past year.”

New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes @sen_gounardes

“Atlantic Avenue embodies so much of what I love about Brooklyn: the small local businesses, the vibrant street life, and the way people from all walks of life come together here.

I’m grateful for all the community leaders — both those with formal titles as well as the everyday neighbors stepping up to help — who play a part in making Atlantic Avenue such a unique, special place. And I’m particularly thankful to the Atlantic Avenue BID for their work to keep the Avenue safe, clean, and such a great place to be.”

Eva, Owner of @consignmentbrooklyn

“I literally wake up everyday grateful that I get to do what I love! Thankful for ATLANTIC AVE since day 1. Opened my business in Sept 1999 and keep coming back day after day and year after year!”

Vanessa, Owner of @black_bull_brooklyn

“I’m thankful for Jorge Parreira, the visionary behind The Black Bull.”
