Brooklyn Women's Exchange Open House November 3rd

Just in time for the holiday shopping season, the Brooklyn Women's Exchange would like to invite you to join them at their Open House this Thursday, November 3rd from 6-8pm.

The BHA is thrilled to have helped the BWE find its new home on Montague (did you know the 168-year old organization has had two previous storefronts on Montague St?)

You can read more about the move and how it came about in the Brooklyn Eagle. Congratulations BWE!

Books are Magic Grand Opening November 5th

You asked for it - you got it!

Flashback to December 2020 (admittedly not the best time for most of us) when the BHA launched a survey to understand what kinds of new businesses the community wanted to see on Montague Street. Over 80% of the more than 1,300 respondents asked for bookstore.

With such a clear mandate we got right to work, calling and emailing various independent books stores we loved, hoping to entice them to open in Brooklyn Heights. We couldn't be more excited that the fruit of that work is a new outpost of the beloved bookstore Books Are Magic!

Come welcome Books Are Magic to 122 Montague Street on Saturday, November 5th from 10am-6pm and enjoy book signings from Tessa Bailey, Ruth Chan, Brian Floca, Emily St. John Mandel, Adam Rubin, Doug Salati and Alejandro Varela.
