Brooklyn Ikea

So Ikea finally came to Brooklyn and I just had to see what the big deal was all about. Some camped out in front of the store to get some free sofas, chairs, pillows, plants, and publicity.

Ignoring the store itself the area of Red Hook has become very nice and commercial. The view is tremendous and well I was shopping for an apartment as much as for a bookcase.

Some bridge, what I did not see a name.

Trust me these buildings were not like this years ago.


Shipping my new furniture would be easier if I lived here.

They had a live band in store, the 3 or 4 people who sat to watch really enjoyed them.

For those unfamiliar with Brooklyn here is where the store is...

			Address: 1 Beard Street Brooklyn, NY 11231
			Phone: 718-246-IKEA (4532)
			Store hours: Open 10am - 10pm daily Restaurant hours: 9:30am - 9:30pm daily

As for the store here is some items I liked in the store.

Yes they have food there but at some great prices. The hot dog was $0.50., cookies for $0.99, and big chocolate bars for $0.99. Seriously I can go there for lunch and everyday and not spend more than $10. Oh yeah and the sell furniture too.
