Great News: Buy in Brooklyn is doing the Snowflake Celebration, a shop local campaign, this year. The Snowflake dates are the first two Thursdays in December (4th and 11th). But many local businesses will also  stay open late on the third Thursday and
possibly run additional programs.

However, most of the festivities will center
around these first two two evenings.

If you nibbled your way down Seventh Avenue during Restaurant Night back in September you experienced how FUN these events can be. That event was like trick or treating for adults (with loads of kids in tow). It was fun to wander in and out of restaurants, sample tasty treats and run into friends and neighbors.

That’s what the Snowflake celebration can be like with the emphasis on Christmas and Hannukah shopping. Buy in Brooklyn wants to encourage Park Slopers to do some or all of their gift  shopping on Seventh and Fifth  Avenues; it’s a win win for local businesses, great fun for the locals and a real economic enhancement for the community.
