Streetlevel: Used Kids Store To Take Old Karrot Space

After more than a year sitting vacant, the former Karrot space at 283 Grand Avenue (which is controlled by the Pratt Area Community Council ) is getting a new tenant. Two local moms will be opening Still Hip Brooklyn, a store that will feature used children’s clothing and toys as well as maternity items. “We agreed that resale was the best way to save money as well as a great way to help our landfills from overflowing,” says the store’s website. It’s going to be a few weeks still before the doors open but even if the merch isn’t fully stocked by then, Audra Tsanos is going to be hosting a Music for Aardvarks class on Tuesday’s starting July 10. Still Hip Brooklyn furthers the transformation of this block of Grand Avenue between Clifton and Lafayette, joining neighborhood faves Grand 275 and Choice. In addition, the former bodega on the northwest corner of Clifton has been getting gutted over the past two weeks; no word yet (though lots of rumors) about what the space will end up being. GMAP
Know of any store or restaurant openings in your neighborhood? Drop us an email at brownstoner@brownstoner.com with the subject line “Streetlevel”.
it will open sometime this month—watch their website (linked in the original post) for info. it is a consignment shop, you can drop stuff off for store credit.
Brownstoner-can you let us know when it opens? I can walk there but don’t pass that way often. Will it be a consignment shop? I always have a ton of kids stuff.
Anon 8:16, did you read the description of the store? It’s a secondhand shop, not a chichi boutique selling $500 strollers.
Also, that would be “Mommies”, not “Mommy’s”.
brooklyn isn’t cool at all, which is why you are reading (and commenting, i might add) on real estate website devoted to brooklyn.
makes sense.
Awesome! White Mommy’s and $500 strollers on Grand St! Hope there’s also a another one of those hip new “family” bars in the works somewhere closeby with high chairs and changing tables for all those stressed out baby Daddys like the ones in PS. Brooklyn’s so COOL now!
i have a tip from my friend at the city planner’s office that the bodega space on the corner is going to be a restaurant.
Mr. Minerva, call me; I’ve got a couple of used kids you can have cheap.
great idea, and welcome. I hope they do well.
This is great! I’m glad I no longer will have to go to Vietnam and wait in line behind Angelina to pick up a used kid!
