  • Goose Barnacle

    91 Atlantic Ave., nr. Hicks St., Brooklyn Heights; 718-855-2694

    After being laid off from Citibank, Brooklyn Heights native David Alperin opened this 750-square-foot menswear boutique and gallery to cater to men who, like himself, are beyond their hipster phase and just want well-made, stylish clothes.

Alperin stocks less than a dozen lines, chosen for craftsmanship and durability. T-shirts start at $30, while serious outerwear goes up to a fair $500.
