New Wine Shop for Henry Street
Brooklyn Heights is getting a new wine shop. As the Brooklyn Heights Blog noted yesterday, a liquor application has popped up in the window of 60 Henry Street under the applicant name of Dumbo Wines.

I have lived in the Heights a long time and I don’t go to Towne liquors if I can possibly help it. It’s over-priced and kind of gross.
A new, attractive, user-friendly wine store will do very well here like the one on Montague Street that has been very successful and has a real following. The key is good service and careful selection.
Michael Towne is very established in the nabe. Good luck to the new place, you will need it.
I used to rent an apt in this building. Those storefronts have always been doomed.
They are so beautiful, in fact, that tenants come and go on this strip faster than I go through a box of tissues.
Perhaps because the business owners don’t walk around the neighborhood to realize there’s another wine store within spitting distance.
“These are beautiful Art Deco storefronts recently restored with that green/black marble. Very fine.”
A bit delusional with this one – aren’t the loose stool inducing Great Wall and a low-end nail salon also blessed with this very fine art deco storefront?
Too much retail, not enough people.
Maybe it’s going to be Elephant themed… then it’s just Dumbo, not DUMBO.
I’m glad to see something go in these storefronts, but really, another wine store? Michael Townes is overpriced, but we don’t need another place to buy wine. What we do need is more restaurants!
This is Cranberry and Henry, you are quite correct that this is not DUMBO. A wine store here with a good selection and good service will do great business. These are beautiful Art Deco storefronts recently restored with that green/black marble. Very fine.
Definitely NOT in Dumbo.
And isn’t there already a wine shop like a block away on Clark St. or am I thinking of something else?
Isn’t Michael Townes on the next block?
