Shops in Downtown Brooklyn

Rebecca Fitting and Jessica Stockton Bagnulo opened Greenlight on the corner of Fulton and South Portland in 2009, raising part of the money from Fort Greene neighbors. Tall shelves, a wide front table of new fiction, a children's section at the back and handwritten staff cards all the way through. It runs author events most weeks and stays open until 10pm every night, which almost no other bookshop in Brooklyn does.

Every day, 10am to 10pm
