"The quirky retailer, famous for its cluttered shelves and vast selection of off-beat decor and dishware, will open at 81 Front St. in Dumbo this fall in what the store called a natural extension of its Manhattan flagship. Brooklyn's been in our DNA forever, said Fishs Eddy founder Julie Gaines, in a statement. Some of our most iconic patterns have Brooklyn brownstones and the bridge. So moving to Brooklyn was just a matter of time."
"Shoppers can expect shelves piled high with basics like mugs, plates, and serve ware with classic diner-style checkerboard patterns and colorful polka dots as well as dinnerware that pays homage to New York City's iconic skyline. But perhaps more interesting are Fishs Eddy more unique offerings, like mugs adorned with snappy sayings and quirky drawings by local artists. Some pay direct homage to Brooklyn the Bridge mug features drawings of the Brooklyn and Verrazzano bridges, the Brooklynese mug is labeled simply Cawfee."
