Coming to Bergen: Mid-Century Furniture Dealer
A poster has gone up in the window of the former Unameable Books space on Bergen Street saying the storefront will soon be home to a business called Grandma’s Attic that specializes in “mid-century furniture.” The store’s website says the company is based in East Meadow and has been around for a couple decades.

Pintchick gets a massive thumbs up for really caring for this strip of Bergen Street.
But as far as Pintchik goes as it’s original mission as a hardware store? Thumbs, way, way, way down. They really have put little to no thought into the hardware store since they decided to become a realtor. The place is badly stocked, the staff has an attitude that exceeds even normal hardware store attitudes and the prices stink.
They clearly at a turning point in their business, but anyone thinking Pintchick is a good hardware store… You really have no idea what you are talking about.
I’m pretty sure Video Edge closed up…
11217,
The American Apparel was not a porn theater, unless that was many years ago. It was just a really loud ghetto theater.
Is Video Edge still open at 7th and Flatbush? They used to have an entire Blacksploitation section that rocked.
I was going to mention that, Denton. I already piss on Williamsburg enough though, so I didn’t want to bring it up 🙂
Also, wasn’t the place that is the American Apparel on Flatbush a porn theatre or something? Or did I hear that wrong.
Don’t people realize that if you’re going to make fun of PS for having so many kiddies, you must also at least realize that the people there are probably having a moderate amount of sex as well…?
I’m in agreement on both your posts, Rob.
The description of those items do not sound in any way appealing. I think a dildo might be something you want from all NEW materials. There’s a time to be green, and then there’s a time to be sensible. But that’s just me. 🙂
“”It’s funny that Park Slope got a hipster sex shop before freewheeling Williamsburg,”
That’s a really dumb comment especially since the Pink Pussycat was on 5th Ave long before Babeland…

Off topic, but speaking of Babeland, I just read this “article” in Racked.com, and it mentions it. You can also see that the Williamsburg/Park Slope battle rages on. 🙂
“It’s funny that Park Slope got a hipster sex shop before freewheeling Williamsburg, but over a year after Babeland opened on Bergen Street, Shag Brooklyn is following suit on Roebling and North 6th. Based on Time Out New York’s report, the shop sounds like it will replicate Babeland’s earnest, helpful approach to moving vibrators. They sell things like eco-friendly dildos made from recycled materials, and they plan to hold workshops on erotica writing and sexy sculpture. Still, there’s a certain Williamsburgishness about the endeavor: The space doubles as an art gallery, and products sold include things like “vagina doorknobs, cast from real vajayjays by artist Rebecca Loyche.” Get a vajayjay of your very own Thursday, November 24, when the store officially opens.”
