StreetLevel: Kids Clothes and Adult Toys for Bergen Street

Over the past few years, Bergen between Flatbush and Fifth Avenue has become one of Park Slope’s most vibrant shopping strips, with an independent bookstore, several eateries and a couple of clothing shops. Now two more retailers are about to call the street home. Within the next several months both kiddie-centric Gymboree and adult-centric Toys in Babeland will be opening stores on Bergen, according to Matthew Pintchik. Pintchik is one of the owners of Pintchik Hardware, and his family has invested in the area since 1912. Gymboree will temporarily take the space at the front of Pintchik Hardware on Flatbush and Bergen before it moves into its permanent digs further down the street. Pintchik says that Gymboree’s temporary location is still on the market, and his family is in talks with a number of national retailers who are considering leasing the storefront, including big boys like McDonald’s. We’re not ruling out anyone at this point, though we’ve been trying to create a community with the stores that have leased space on Bergen, says Pintchik. Trader Joe’s, please call me up.

5:08- sexually closeted
babeland-only good thing in the slope.
some people aren’t frigid, 5:08.
this is EXACTLY what park slope needs.
bet it will be top performing store of the 5.
although there are some real freaks on melrose…
Sorry babeland, my wife does not want or need sex toys. I must be doing something right. 🙂
Omg, isn’t this what internet sales are for? I would never physically walk into a sex shop and buy this stuff in person. Ever. If I decided to buy some sex toys, it would be over the internet.
two words:
GAY PORN!
very excited about babeland. meat and potatoes – obviously you haven’t been married 10 years w/ 2 kids. I’m not sayin’ ya gotta go crazy, but some beads and a vibrating you-know-what ring can be fun when you’ve gotten to the point where you have to schedule it…always good to have fun.
Are all of your sex lives that boring that you need toys? Personally, I’m a meat and potatoes kind of person. But I definitely welcome Babeland to counter all the kiddie stuff.
gymboree is a shitshow.
all the kid stuff in the slope is closing. orange blossom, romp, etc.
i hope park slope businesses start catering a little more to those of us who hate kids.
THANKS BABELAND!!!
