We Live in Brooklyn Baby!

A little more info on the new space, located at 37 Main Street in DUMBO, so all y'all know why we crossed the river...

"I've always dreamed that powerHouse would inhabit inspirational space, a space where classical architecture mixes with vaulted ceilings and height to emphasize the nobility of man's loftier pursuits of knowledge and pleasure. Nothing in any borough comes close to the feeling that comes from what will be our new home, save for Grand Central Station," said Daniel Power, publisher of powerHouse Books. "The general vibe of DUMBO is what certain places in Manhattan felt like decades ago; the East Village and SoHo in the late 80s, Hudson Square in the 90s. In DUMBO, questions and possibilities abound; this will be a perfect place to situate a laboratory of thought, which is what powerHouse intends to do."

powerHouse Books was selected for the 37 Main Street space by Two Trees Management Co., which owns most of the Brooklyn neighborhood of DUMBO ("Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass"). The company's holdings include 13 buildings and the second largest portfolio of commercial space on the Brooklyn waterfront, which is 3 million square feet in size.

"We're excited to welcome powerHouse to our DUMBO community," said Jed Walentas, a partner in Two Trees Management. "The addition of this bookstore/creative laboratory brings us closer to the vision we have for DUMBO: an intoxicating lifestyle and environment where people can live, work, shop, and play."

Power says this is only the start. "We've only just gotten the place, and it has already paid numerous dividends in the form of future cultural collaborations with the city's leading arts entities and our corporate partners, including the most dynamic and innovative agency out there doing anything. The future is white hot, and the possibilities seem to be growing themselves."
