Racked NY reports today that Barneys Co-op will open this fall on Atlantic Avenue.
The block of Atlantic Avenue between Court and Clinton is quickly becoming the go-to spot in the nabe for food and fashion – with Trader Joe’s and Urban Outfitters complementing longtime faves Damascus Bakery and Sahadi’s, it’s one-stop shopping for everyone!
And soon, the western end of Atlantic Ave will lead to the planned southern entrance of Brooklyn Bridge Park – this reporter is already planning a combined picnic/fashion show…






This is actually Boerum Hill!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that Boerum Hill is usually thought of as starting east of Smith Street.
Although the border debates have been going on forever, Jonah is correct (or at least this is how the locals label it). At the very least, nothing past Court street towards the water would ever be considered Boerum Hill.
Hey jackass promoting a stupid blog, don’t tell the real locals what’s what. This is SOUTH BROOKLYN. All the other names were invented by yuppie scum like you!
The Where,
let me guess…you ran out of meds. south brooklyn!!! grunt. me need things simple. grunt. more specific designations too confusing. grunt. typical neanderthal.
Did you guys see Brownstoner whining that he had “inside info,” but was a gentleman and didn’t break this story? Cry me a river dude…

Hey, “Where”, I’ve lived here 40 years plus, the names were invented by real estate agents when I was in high school..oh, and your name is a spin off from “the What” on Brownstoner, so who’s a fake ass bitch now? FAKER! welcome to the neighborhood, tourist!
I prefer homage to The What, please.
since you were named some time after “The What”, lets just say you’re the ‘Boerum Hill’ to The What’s ‘South Brooklyn’, enjoy!
