Love Local
The Love Local initiative was launched at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to support North Brooklyn’s small businesses as shutdowns threatened their survival. While we knew we couldn’t stop people from shopping online, our hope was to remind the community to check with neighborhood shops first. Sometimes, what you need is just around the corner.
Love Local has evolved into a post-pandemic program that supports small businesses not just through promotion, but also by helping them navigate challenges, improve operations, and grow. It connects business owners with practical tools, guidance, and peers who can share valuable insight from their own experiences.

Joining the North Brooklyn Chamber in 2022 was one of the best decisions Carroll Hall made as a brand-new business. We had just opened our unique venue to host events for the first time. From day one, the NBK Chamber (especially Elaine, Norm and Paul) were incredibly welcoming and helped us quickly feel connected to the broader community. Through their events and networking opportunities, we were able to meet so many local business owners and collaborators. We were proud to co-host a cocktail mixer with the Chamber in August 2023 and open our doors to neighbors and friends.

The North Brooklyn Chamber has been an incredible connector and champion for Triskelion Arts. As a nonprofit arts organization ourselves, we deeply value their commitment to community and local culture. Over the past two years, the Chamber has welcomed us with genuine warmth and inclusion, helping us build lasting partnerships with local businesses and neighbors. We were honored to be featured in their Brooklyn Revealed programming, an opportunity that introduced our space to new collaborators and audiences who continue to support our work. Their team is always available, always listening, and truly invested in strengthening North Brooklyn’s cultural and economic ecosystem. We’re proud to be part of this community and encourage others to join and experience the same spirit of connection.

This is not your Dad’s Chamber of Commerce. The events are fun, interactive and well attended. I joined looking for business. What I found was a network of support, with people whom are extremely knowledgeable, well connected and have a true desire to help. Not only that, I found and continue to find the business I was looking for.

The NB Chaimber is a great resource for overcoming road blocks or just working through ideas. If you don’t have the answer chances are someone else does, and the good folks at the Chamber will know who to ask.

Why do we use it?
Where does it come from?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
