Jummy’s Picks by Black-Owned Brooklyn Holiday Pop-Up

For two weekends in December, the husband-and-wife team behind Black-Owned Brooklyn is taking over a 30,000 square-foot Atlantic Center storefront to host a holiday pop-up featuring 50 local Black-owned brands.

The holiday pop-up comes on the heels of B.O.B.'s coveted annual gift guide, and it’s the latest initiative under their “Jummy’s Picks” brand, in which they curate collections of NYC-based businesses for immersive large-scale events — taking Black-Owned Brooklyn from the digital page to bespoke shopping experiences. (Previous Jummy’s Picks installations have included a three-week pop-up at the Nordstrom NYC Flagship and a two-day Juneteenth Food Festival at Weeksville Heritage Center.)

You can look forward to:

  • A curated selection of businesses across seven categories
  • A live DJ sets from Donwill, DJ Tara, Run P. and DJ Blue Monday;
  • Family-friendly appearances by “Papa and Mama Soul Santa”; 
  • Lounge areas for eating and just relaxing
