Multitasking at Old Made

Boutique/Concert Hall/Art Gallery, and soon to be record store, Old Made is making its debut in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Opened by Leah Adams-Kroll and Frances Pezik, the vintage store is stuffed with vintage dresses, blazers, sweaters, and even old board games, typewriters, shaving kits, and other knick knacks. The loft building will show off some of Brooklyn’s up and coming musicians and artists, while providing a living room-esque setting for visitors. Old Made is located at 441 Metropolitan Avenue between Marcy and Meeker Avenues, not far from space for lease 145 Borinquen Place.
