Coming to Bergen: Mid-Century Furniture Dealer
A poster has gone up in the window of the former Unameable Books space on Bergen Street saying the storefront will soon be home to a business called Grandma’s Attic that specializes in “mid-century furniture.” The store’s website says the company is based in East Meadow and has been around for a couple decades.

What this block really needs is a good used book store.
At night in winter with the Christmas lights this block looks like Candyland.
I think people here know my feelings about Pintchik (it stinks) but I agree the strip is turning out nicely. It certainly has come a long way from the days when my ex-wife’s girlfriend operated a beauty parlor in one of these spaces. That said, I’m afraid “mid-century furniture” in that space is code for “overpriced.” But that doesn’t mean they won’t find a market in the neighborhood.

Babeland
Organic Heights
Private Stock (men’s boutique)”
In my quick scan of the list (reading in haste) coupled with the other names straddling it (especially the one above it). I read that as Orgasmic Heights.
Agreed, Santa. City Subs is one of the best places in the hood. Melt ain’t half bad either, and Bark is one of my absolute favorites. I eat there at least once a week.
For that matter Organic Heights has AMAZING smoothies, salads and coffee.
But we all know Rob hates anything with the word “organic” in it.
Was just in the bike shop over the weekend looking for a new one…the guys there are really nice.
City Subs is great. Or at least it used to be back when I lived near there.
i will have to check out citi subs! please tell me it’s better than gross subway tho
*rob*
Rob, how the hell do you not know what City Subs is? As someone who complains about park slope you seen to be clueless of the few gems it has.
They also clearly oversaw the remodeling of the exterior of each of these stores, where each is painted a different bright color…no two are alike. Each one is pristine.
The strip is very quaint, yet right off of busy Flatbush Avenue and 5th Avenue.
I know some here seem to hate Pintchik Hardware, but they done good, in my book.
Rob, Bump is a maternity store. I’m guessing we can put you down for “lame” on that one too.
