Caribou Baby, Coming Soon to Greenpoint!

I’m Adriane Stare and I’m opening a baby store and class space for expectant and new families in Greenpoint, Brooklyn!

Despite enduring five long, excruciating months of mercury retrogrades and other cosmic disasters that set out to destroy my efforts to secure a space for Caribou Baby, I finally signed a lease last week on a beautiful, old storefront at 272 Driggs Avenue, a block and half from the McCarren Park Playground. Rumor has it, the storefront was used as a bar/restaurant in Scorcese’s new HBO series, Boardwalk Empire. Fancy! 

Paper is up in the windows, walls have been erected, it’s all happening! Stay tuned for updates as the store comes together and details on the grand opening slated for early 2011.

Here is a glimpse of the store from the inside. Salvaged doors, windows and a 100 yr old piece of a bowling lane line the wall and await to be repurposed as fixtures throughout the space.

A vintage chalkboard adorns the future classroom/event space.
