Shop Brooklyn for the holidays

It may be “Black Friday” to everyone else, but to borough residents, tomorrow it will be “Brooklyn Friday.”

So hopes Borough President Marty Markowitz as he launches his “Shop Brooklyn” initiative for the 2009 holidays.

“Shop Brooklyn” is designed as an awareness campaign that will highlight the uniqueness of Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and thriving shopping corridors and encourage residents to “shop local.”

As part of the “Shop Brooklyn” campaign, Brooklyn retailers, restaurants, bars, and other service providers taking part in the initiative will offer special “Brooklyn Bonuses” running through December 25.

Participating retailers will display the “Shop Brooklyn” logo in store windows and will have their special offers posted here.
