Tina Roth Eisenberg, a.k.a. swissmiss, design guru, founder of Studiomates and Tatt.ly, and Creative Mornings host, writes, “DUMBO helps me 'fake small town living in a big city'. The DUMBOnians are a friendly bunch and the design centric community convinced me to make this my work home base.” Tina recommends, “Consider surprising someone with a balloon from Bridge Apothecary. One day I will buy that taxidermy skunk at Modern Anthology. Whenever I need caffeine, I go to Brooklyn Roasting Company. Their coffee and atmosphere is fantastic. Make sure to notice the Geisha... Neighborhoodies if you want to surprise your little one with a custom t-shirt. Love design books and t-shirts? Check out Zakka. Superfine makes the *best* spaghettini with chunks of meat. Stewart Stand is my favorite place for gifts. Their OCD cutting board is awesome. I am addicted to Rice's edamame hummus. My favorite place in all of NYC is the steps at the park overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge. The Chocolate covered almonds at Jacques Torres make me swoon. And I totally love the Get Smart Series at Galapagos. Did I mention the venue has a lake?"
