Crest Hardware & Urban Garden Center
Brooklyn, New York
You'd expect to find an old-timey hardware store in middle America — but not in one of the hippest spots in the country. In business for 50 years, the Crest Hardware & Urban Garden Center is a family-owned hardware store in the heart of Williamsburg. In addition to offering nearly everything under the sun, from flowers and paint to plumbing and electrical, the store also plays host to Crestfest, a Summer festival celebrating art, community, and life. Oh, and be sure to ask if Franklin — the store's pet pig — is in when you stop by, and be sure to go out back and say hello if he is.
