There's some really special about our neighborhood. Brooklyn is quite a vibrant and diverse borough, and we can't help but go on adventures. Especially when we're at walking distance from our very own 5th Avenue, a famous Brooklyn strip of small shops, cafes, and restaurants. Most shops feature unique facades alongside some very niche retail spots.
From stopping by Brooklyn Wine Co for an autumn house warming party gift to saying hi to our friends at Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store, its always a blast.
Follow as the Maptote team goes on a bit of a fun journey through the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY while wearing some of their favorite locally cut, sewn, and printed tote bags and pouches.
The team stopped by the TikTok and Instagram favorite bookshop The Ripped Bodice. Made viral thanks to their niche book selection concentrating on romance novels.
If you're visiting Brooklyn, you must stop by a local coffee shop. There are so many different types of cafes to choose from, and we love Kos Kaffe. Their outdoor seating are fun and vibrant. Great for people watching or reading a book on a cool autumn morning.
And of course, we had to stop by one of our first Maptote stockists. Annie's Blue Ribbon General Store is a wonderful shop filled with amazing home goods and gifts. We had a blast checking out all their latest restocks from pumpkin scented candles to some spooky treats.
