We are located in
the Bush Terminal Market a giant warehouse faciltiy built in 1907 to service
the Brooklyn docks. Now also known as Industry City it is home to lots
of warehouses like us and a fair number of woodworking shops. The surrounding
area is known as Sunset Park and we are also on the edge of Green Wood
Cemetery - which is considered one of the most beautiful historic cemetery
parks in the nation.
By Subway
The subway stop is 36 street in Brooklyn.
The and
express
trains from Manhattan and will take no time to get there - just 2 stops
into Brooklyn (about 35 minutes door to door from Union Square).
The and
local
trains also stops there but the trip from Manhattan takes a good bit longer.
However these trains also stop in lower Manhattan which can be very convenient.
One word of caution: the
train stops here during RUSH HOUR ONLY.
From Grand Central Station, or the east side you might find it easier
to take the 4 or 5 Lexington Avenue Express and go to Union Square and
change for the train or go to Pacific Street in Brooklyn and then change
for the
or trains.
Coming from Manhattan the exit at 36 street will be at the front of the
train. Go up the stairs and go right to the NW exit of the station. You
will exit on 4rd Avenue. Walk to 35th street, then turn left to go to
3rd Avenue (which is under the elevated BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway).
There is a light at 34th street. Cross over and walk down to 33rd street.
Make a left on 33rd street and we are at #32 . It's about a 5 minute walk
from the station.
The building covers the entire block but 32 is marked - pretty close to
second avenue. When you get to the building go into the lobby and then
go out to the freight elevators. If the freight elevator is not there
ring the buzzer. Go up to the fifth floor we are in the back. Come on
In!!
There is no freight elevator service between 12-1 o'clock. If you have the
energy you can walk up the 5 floors. We close promptly at 5:00 because that's when the elevators shut down.
If you happen to be in our store at 5:00 you will have to walk down the
stairs.
By Car
The major artery of the area is the BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) which
is also known as the "Gowanus Expressway" in this neighboorhood or as 278.
Take the 39th street exit (#23) then turn right into Second avenue and then
right again into 33rd street. In general you cannot park in front of the
building except for delivery and pickup. There is free parking under the
BQE which is tight but not difficult. Just drive back from 2nd avenue to
third avenue which is where the BQE is.
