5 Best Boutiques in Brooklyn

 Sakai Blue The Writers Network
Brooklyn jokes stopped being so funny once it became clear that Brooklyn rivaled Manhattan in many really great ways, including the clothing front.  Whereas in the past, Brooklyn girls had to traipse into Manhattan for stylish duds, the tables have long turned as many Manhattan girls take the reverse trek to Brooklyn in order to get their hands on some of the coolest fashion in the Big Apple.  Listed below are five of the coolest hot spots in Brooklyn for dapper threads. 

The Banquet
360 Atlantic Avenue (Boerum Hill)
This Boerum Hill boutique proudly stocks tons of made-in-Brooklyn merchandise.  Owners Miranda Bennett and Pamela Johnston have a great reputation for stocking some of the best vintage finds around.  An MBD High Tea dress is perfect lusciousness with its silk georgette material draping your body with a supple and soft effect.  It has the signature MB Grecian draping that helps give the dress that "Greek goddess in Brooklyn look."
