Dekalb Market

Today we took a nice long stroll to check out Dekalb Market in Downtown Brooklyn. The market is constructed of salvaged shipping containers turned into storefronts. The markets brings together artists, artisans, eateries, an incubator farm and a performance venue creating a community for creative entrepreneurs. Today was the opening weekend of the market for the season and there was a huge turnout.  I love to see so many people supporting local and handmade goods and I think using shipping containers as storefronts is such a brilliant idea.

 

Also, the market is dog friendly. Nigel approves!
