Brown’s Army Navy

Brown’s Army + Navy is a veteran-founded 3rd generation business featuring Workwear, Military, Outdoor, and Casual footwear and apparel. Brown’s has been in business since 1962, with roots in the Bronx and Manhattan. And since 1976, in the globally diverse neighborhoods of Jackson Heights and Astoria in Queens, “the world’s borough."

Brown’s features classic American heritage brands such as Carhartt, Dickies, Timberland, Wolverine, Caterpillar, Levi’s, Lee, Wrangler, Columbia, Merrell, and Rothco Military. Brown’s retains the nostalgic look and feel of the old-time Army Navy surplus stores, that were once found throughout the country. The staff at Brown’s pride themselves on offering the service of boutique stores for the value found at discount stores.

Edy’s Grocer

Edy’s Grocer is North Brooklyn’s very first Lebanese Market and Cafe in the heart of the historic Greenpoint neighborhood and opened last August 2020. We specialize in providing a wide range of imported groceries from all over the Middle East such as spices, oils, pickled goods, jams, and sweets. We also package our own nuts, dried fruits, grains, flours, spices and snacks in-house daily. Beyond the pink and green shelves of the Grocer, Chef Edy has curated a rotating monthly menu with his own twist on modern Lebanese cuisine. You will find an array of house-made mezze and cheeses, baked goods, man’oushe, seasonal salads and sandwiches. There is always something new to try each time you visit Edy’s Grocer!

After years of catering and trying to pivot through the pandemic, it all aligned when the former owner of “Maria’s Deli”, Maria Puk, stepped down from her business after 43 years— and Chef Edy took over and reopened the storefront as the new Edy’s Grocer!

Harlem Pilates

Harlem Pilates was born from Tiffany Lauren Mason's determination to fill a critical gap in accessible wellness spaces. Her most transformative moment came in 2018, when she converted her apartment in Harlem to host mat pilates classes, shortly after Harlem Pilates was created. As a small business owner, she's honored to create a space that empowers her community to prioritize wellness while building a movement that resonates far beyond Harlem. Her growth to three thriving studios demonstrates that community-centered businesses can change lives and have a big impact.
