From Next Stop Vegan to NSV Creative Caribbean Kitchen 🌴🇩🇴

After three years in Downtown Brooklyn, this Dominican-owned favorite at 88 Livingston Street is stepping into a new chapter with a name change. NSV is still 100% plant-based, now with a bigger mission: making creative Caribbean food that everyone feels welcome to enjoy.

From alcapurrias and mofonguitos to ropa vieja and their best-selling sweet & spicy oyster mushroom burger 🍔🔥 Every dish reimagines familiar flavors with creativity, culture, and love.

Rooted in heritage. Built by hand. Made for the community. Whether you’re vegan or not, NSV is proof that plant-based food can be bold, nostalgic, and deeply satisfying.

A Year of Downtown Brooklyn — New Businesses

Downtown Brooklyn continued to grow in 2025, welcoming new businesses that add energy, opportunity, and everyday vitality to the neighborhood. ⚡️

From local entrepreneurs to national brands, these openings reflect a district in motion — one where people can shop, eat, create, and connect, all within a few blocks. 💿🍣🏀☕️

New businesses don’t just fill storefronts. They shape street life, support jobs, and help Downtown Brooklyn evolve into a place that works better for the people who live, work, and spend time here.

A Year of Downtown Brooklyn — Impact

In Downtown Brooklyn, we work to create real, lasting impact — shaping how the neighborhood grows and where it’s headed.

In 2025, that meant advancing and completing the Fulton Mall revitalization project, convening conversations between local stakeholders, cultivating businesses and entrepreneurship, and supporting a range of initiatives focused on street-level improvements. 🌳🏗️🗣️💡

These efforts matter because they go beyond individual events. They help influence decisions and guide development in ways that serve the people who live, work, and gather here — ensuring Downtown Brooklyn continues to evolve with intention and shared benefit. 🧭

New restaurant just opened in Downtown Brooklyn!

Juici Patties began when 16-year-old Jukie Chin, the company’s founder, started making their signature Juici Patties in his mother’s kitchen and selling them in his parents’ grocery store.🧑‍🍳

And now they are expanding in the U.S.! Juici Patties’ first American stores opened serving flavorful Jamaican patties built on years of culinary tradition and just the right amount of Jamaican spice! 🇯🇲

A Year of Downtown Brooklyn — Art & Music

In Downtown Brooklyn, art and music are catalysts. They animate streets, inspire expression, and shape the neighborhood’s cultural identity.

In 2025, we helped that happen through events from ground murals and dance performances to live music and exhibitions. 🎨💃🎻

These programs transformed public spaces into places for artistic expression, inviting the community to experience art and bringing culture directly into the heart of the neighborhood. ⛲️

Throughout the year, Downtown Brooklyn came alive through moments that brought neighbors together — from seasonal celebrations to performances, pop-ups, and community gatherings. 🧧🤹📖🎷
