Meet Kelly, Lilly, & Layla, the women who ensure Atlantic Avenue is its best version of itself. Over the past 3 years, we achieved the lowest commercial vacancy rate since the pandemic, attracting more than 50 new businesses; expanded tree and garden plantings; doubled the holiday lighting; increased sanitation services; and brought nine new public works of art to the district.
On #nycbidday, we are sharing what we love about Atlantic Avenue. What do you love most about Atlantic? Tell us in the comments! 😆
Kelly loves our legacy businesses, like @sahadis, @orientalpastry , @montero.nyc, @tripolirestaurant.nyc, Damascus and @atlanticbicycles , and our historic architecture.
Lilly enjoys chatting with new businesses in the district like @harrishomebk,@cabinmodern, @sea.soil.coop, and @diljanbakery to learn more about their passions. She also loves to see the flowers and trees we’ve planted thriving!
Layla loves strolling into our home stores 🏡 like @horseman.antiques , @collierwest , and @mudaustralia.

The anticipation is officially over, @dinahbrooklyn is now open 👏! We were curious when we first learned the former @atlanticbagelsbk was set to transform into a classic Brooklyn diner with a modern twist. Upon entering you are met with the friendliest team and a vibrant space.
A few notable mentions from their menu include BLTs, omelettes, and lox stacked on their hand rolled bagels 🤤. In true diner fashion, they also offer lunch and dinner!
Their current hours are Wednesday from 5PM-9PM, Thursday and Friday from 7AM-9PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 9AM-3PM.

In case you missed it, our district has some new art 🎨! After being tagged with graffiti, local artist John Macchione, a.k.a @cantbekilled.co, offered to cover up this space with a new mural. We are deeply appreciative of their work and thank John for showing up for the community in such a creative way.
We love the details and encourage you all to check out this vibrant mural for yourself when you are out and about. 👀🐦

Nestled in the dreamy backyard of @grdnbklyn 🪴, we sit down with owner Susanne Kongoy. Susanne recalls exploring the area years ago, “I had moved to the neighborhood and there were some great shops, it made me think that this was a great area to get started. There was @laylabklyn , Eva [of @consignmentbrooklyn ], there was just a mix of retail at the time and I thought I could be a part of that.” GRDN officially opened in 2004 at 103 Hoyt Street.
The idea for GRDN came about in a very organic way after a move, “We had our first outdoor space, which was just a tiny balcony and I was looking for beautiful things to enhance this very small space. I couldn’t really find anything and I thought, ‘That’s a great business’.” Susanne chuckles, “I didn’t know enough when I started but I thought it was a pursuit that would keep me interested for the next chapter, it’s been 22 years. I knew I wanted to do something with nature.“
Susanne finds inspiration all around: exploring the historic Manhattan flower market, local gardens, and in her own community 🌷. Susanne also commends our beautification efforts: Over the past 3 years, we’ve introduced native, hearty plants and pollinators. “You can see the tree pits on Atlantic Avenue and see the heartier plants that really made it through the winter, and through the traffic, and being stepped on, and the garbage.”
Susanne has cultivated more than a store, “It was like an extended home.” Susanne remarks about her long lasting relationships in the neighborhood, “People know each other. That’s what I love about the store. We’ve been with them in all of the important events.”
Susanne is thrilled to be part of the district, “It’s exciting to see the changes and there are so many woman-owned businesses, it’s a really supportive group of people. I do all of my shopping in the area and I try to support the restaurants. The new @sea.soil.coop is so cute!”
Mother’s Day is this weekend, have you seen our local gift guide? Make sure you visit GRDN for all of your floral and garden needs. 💕
Open Wednesday to Saturday from 11AM to 6PM and Sunday from 12PM to 6PM.
📍103 Hoyt Street

Picture your business here on Atlantic Avenue🧐! This block between Hoyt Street and Bond Street is coveted. @curbed notes there is, “… a particularly dense lineup of homeware and clothing shops,” and “…It’s not surprising that so much has converged on this single block. While it’s located in Boerum Hill, it’s a nexus for the neighborhoods.” 🤝
A popular shopping destination since the late 1800s and lovingly referred to as “antiques row”, your business could thrive here. You’ll also have great neighbors like @eastforkbrooklyn, @michelevarian, @mudaustralia, @rdnsalon, the list goes on!
If you’re interested in this prime spot contact CTL Realty via email at info@ctlrealty.com or call (917)-446-6918.
