Small Business Is Big Business

You know how the saying goes—whether it’s from Mayor Bloomberg or American Express—“small business is big business.” We totally agree. And down in Dumbo, it’s even bigger. From the local wine shop to the dive bar, from the furniture showrooms to the sushi place, from the boutique stores to the bodegas—they comprise the fabric of the community. We’ll be using this space to profile various local businesses who have a great story. Be sure to check back every once in a while, and let us know if there’s a “little-guy” out there who you think we should feature.
