#LoveMyCity Brooklyn with Kate Edwards

BY Taylor Rebhan

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.

Littleneck Outpost in Greenpoint, Brooklyn is one of Kate’s favorite eateries. “This cafe/lunch spot has such a cozy small town feel. They even sell the cutest products, like handmade linen aprons and homemade honey”

Vinegar Hill House in Dumbo, Brooklyn is one of Kate’s all-time favorite restaurants. “It’s tucked away on this little cobblestone street, that almost feels like it was built as a movie set. There isn’t much else around it, which makes it such a great destination spot in Brooklyn. Also, their cocktails are amazing!”

“Every girl needs a wallet that can be jam packed with everything she needs. Shinola’s Continental Wallet is the perfect size and looks great too,” Kate says.
