amika’s guide to Brooklyn

David Bender said it best when he said that Brooklyn has a “creative spirit is like no other place.” As a Brooklyn-born brand, we stand by this wholeheartedly. We draw inspiration from NYC every day, and we always try to infuse our Brooklyn roots into everything we do.  

We love spending time at local restaurants, shops, or cafes—so much so that we wanted to share some of our favorites with you. Below, you’ll find a running list of our favorite spots to go to in Brooklyn, which we’ll continue to update periodically. Enjoy!
