Ready, set, shop! Holidays on Atlantic Avenue are in full swing offering unique gifts, promotions, and stunning festive window displays. Shoppers can explore Brooklyn’s vibrant neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Downtown Brooklyn all season long without the hassle of cardboard boxes at their door. Throughout December, visitors can enjoy shop and dine specials at local businesses, pop-up entertainment, and photo opportunities with Santa.
On Atlantic Avenue, you will find one-of-a-kind gifts for the holidays. Until December 17, local merchants will offer discounts on selected items and/or special deals for Shop & Dine Promotion. Special deals include 15% off, buy one, get one free, and free hot chocolate/hot cider and cookies. For a full list of ‘Jingle and Mingle’ deals, visit https://www.atlanticave.org/
