We’re hard-pressed to think of a retail opening that we’ve been more excited about than the Chase bank that’s coming to the corner of Front and Jay in Dumbo. (Okay, except for maybe Choice’s opening back in April ’06.) We’ve had an account at Chase since it was Chemical back in the early ’90s, which worked out great when we lived in Manhattan. But ever since we’ve lived in Brooklyn, we’ve been shit outta luck when it comes to banking. When we lived on South 4th Street in Williamsburg we were stuck with bodega ATMs (the bane of every cheapskate’s existence); since living in Clinton Hill, the closest Chase has been more than a mile away on Washington and Flushing. So it is with great relief that we await the Friday opening of the branch at the base of the J Condo, a mere four blocks from our desk in Dumbo.

  1. Ooooh, people are excited about amenities that make life in the city a little more livable, the horror! 4:57, we should all be thrilled to do our “banking” and “grocery shopping” in our local bodegas for the privilege of living in New York?

    For everyone else who posted the location of other Chase locations, er, thanks… but for those of us who live / work in DUMBO, this is our new local and I’m glad it’s here.
