Now's the time to plan your Brooklyn "Back to School" fall shopping spree. Remember, Brooklyn's got the goods!

"Of course, when we Shop Brooklyn, dollars circulate back into our vibrant Brooklyn neighborhoods, ensuring the health of our small businesses, keeping our retail streets brightly lit and active and providing the jobs so essential to our families and future," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. "Take it from me, Brooklyn retailers and restaurateurs understand their customers. That's why shopping and dining in Brooklyn is a win-win all year long. With hundreds of retail shopping corridors full of hip and diverse fashion boutiques, bookstores, hardware stores, pharmacies, restaurants, galleries, specialty food emporia and gift stores, Brooklyn's renowned diversity means endless retail variety!" 

Shop Brooklyn is also partnering with the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Park Slope Fifth Avenue BID and the Park Slope Chamber of Commerce to present "The 3/50 Project: Building Business from the Ground Up." Relying on the simple premise of "pick 3, spend 50, save your local economy," The 3/50 Project is a national program that helps brick and mortar businesses reclaim consumer dollars in a positive, effective manner. On Wednesday, August 18, 7pm - 9pm at St. Francis College (180 Remsen Street in Downtown Brooklyn), nationally renowned speaker and retail consultant Cinda Baxter, founder of The 3/50 Project, will address the business community.
