KarensMonsters says " They're incredibly knowledgeable, sell a little bit of everything and can always get what I want and their prices are at least comparable, if not cheaper, than some of the larger or discount stores. I also love the fact that I can go in and dig around to see what treasures I can find. It's paradise for a sewer like me."

On November 16, The {NewNew} organized a date at Brooklyn Indie Market - urging consumers to shop local. It was a great day full of constant people, great music, lots of chatting, and a raffle to end it all off! For some photos, check out our flickr pool.
