Another Atlantic Ave Design Store Biting the Dust
The Brooklyn Heights decor and gift store is closing up shop at the end of this month. The tiny store has been around since 2006, and owners say they won’t be relocating. Looks like that corner of Henry and Atlantic will feel pretty barren soon, what with the shuttering of Nova Zembla. GMAP StreetLevel: Heights…

We shopped here on occasion. This closing is a serious loss to the neighborhood, and I will miss the shop tremendously.
Third, “anywhere farther down Atlantic towards the water is just as depressing… ”
Actually, E_Nonko, one of 11217’s favorite shops, Holler & Squall, a very nice, eclectic antiques shop with nice owners, is on the block between Hicks and the BQE. I posted this in the OT last Friday. That end of Atlantic will really do well once Pier 6 of the Park opens since it’s only one of 2 entrances and there will be a lot of foot traffic.
B. “i got the feeling the whole store was some rich banker’s wife’s pet project to keep her busy during the day.”
LOL. May not be true, but I always had the same thought.
1. Uh? Hel-lo?! I posted this in the OT DAYS ago, Monday, I think, when we were trying to help DH furnish his apartment.
I agree with Denton (@11:41 AM)
I love turn of the last century oak. Contrarian that I am, one of the things I liked about buying that kind of furniture was having people in my parents generation wonder why I liked that old junk. Kind of like my reaction to 30 somethings buying mid-century modern now (although I at least appreciate the irony):-)
My husband and I always referred to this place as the-shop-we-always-look-in-the-window-of-but-never-actually-go-into… I guess maybe others did too…
This was a fantastic store! The two owners (neither, I believe, was a rich banker’s wife…) had a great eye for timeless, modern stuff, and there was actually quite a range of prices. Where will I get all my hostess and office gifts now? I guess we’ll just have to hope that not another nail salon or third rate thrift store to open up (like i feel is happening all over Park Slope…).
Brooklyn Heights has a sad dearth of quality, locally owned businesses – I will be sad to see this store go.
Too bad! This was such a nice store.
Whoops! You were right, Pigeon. Somehow a word got lost in the edit… It will be feeling pretty lonely/barren soon. And anywhere farther down Atlantic towards the water is just as depressing…
