As we continue to open stores nationwide, our 2,561 square foot Dumbo location still manages to make us feel right at home. To get a better grasp of this new neighborhood, we asked fellow Detroit-born/New York-based photographer Kate Edwards to show us around. From her favorite way to see the city to all her favorite places to grab a bite, we’re excited to explore this side of New York.
