Flowers and Noisemakers Coming to Front Street
A new store offering flowers and party supplies is coming to one of the storefronts along the Front Street side of the Joshua Guttman-owned 68 Jay Street in Dumbo. With the entrance to the J Condo right across the street just about complete, this sounds like good timing. We just hope the shop’s roses are…

So you write that you ‘..used to live there..’ so how would you know now if the neighborhood has ‘no sense of community’ if you are no longer living in the community. Can’t be all bad if you still attend the neighborhood block party. Or do you attend just to re-affirm your existing prejudice, and then pass the prejudice on to your children and grandchildren.
And you know what, you may be right. The schools may suck, and the neighborhood may be dirty, etc. But at least give some facts based upon real things, and not your ‘feelings’ about people who appear different.
In New York City, EVERY neighborhood has changed. And every person that makes the claim that they were the first there, had also changed it from the prior group who also angered about the change. Lets take it back to the NativeAmericans, they may be the only ‘people’ who may have some type of claim to be angry about the change. They were here first.
Went down to dumbo, used to live there, before the before. You know what, still nothing down there. Big signs for coffee and pastries in the morning; awful dirty
places with high prices for coffee.
So what are you talking about. Party store you say, oh wow, I must move back.I
I wouldn’t raise kids in downtown Brooklyn. Air quality sucks, schools aren’t fine, and well the neighbors are all from somewhere else and have no sense of community except at block parties. Even at block parties, there is a growing number of the “I” generation
No my children and grandchildren will not come in contact with the new Brooklyn.
sure hope their flowers and supplies are better than their spelling…
This space was vacated by the mid-century modern furnishings shop that used to be on Lafayette Street in SoHo, then moved to Front Street in Dumbo about three years ago (I noticed because they moved from a location one block from my office to a location one block from my home). Sorry to see they didn’t make it, but they specialized in Heywood Wakefield stuff, which is–aside from being a very narrow subset of the categoy–not, to my mind, a particularly popular or appealing segment. Had they diversified their inventory, well, who knows?
and as long as it’s not another furniture store!
It was only a matter of time before that space got leased. Good addition to the neighborhood since the flower shop on Washington recently closed down.
We could use a place to buy bongs here in DUMBO. is it that kind of party store?
