Aunts et Uncles

The communityMike & Nicole’s neighborhood for well over a decadeinspired to have a gather-and-chill space that gets their creativity flowing and that is also IN their neighborhood. Aunts et Uncles’ goal is to harness and incubate a vibe where creatives and visionaries and the everyday neighborhood family can exchange in a genuinely hospitable atmosphere that also features clean, plant-based, vegan meals. The concept is family that listens and supports; the lifestyle is curated, creative, visionary excellence that has a West-Indian heritage.

The hood was never the problem. Here we have family and frustration, diversity of thought and angst to see a new world get created. We’re dealing with wicked systemic problems at all levels and challenging norms while trying to be disruptive. What’s missing is what’s always been missing: the toolbox of resources to make something of what is an ideal situation: proximity, intersection of interests, individual, cultural and conceptual diversity, and capable dreamers ready and willing to challenge the status quo. We already got the thinkers and artists and tinkerers and geniuses and streetwise innovators the rest of societythe same ones society likes to brag on when they come from suburban garages. We already got the people who use what they got to be resourceful and survive! Right Here! : @brianabalducciphoto

It behooves a small business to be not merely a new entrant into a neighborhood community but instead a continuation of an existing narrative. A continuation that gives permission to the neighbors as a collective to collectively enter a new chapter. This is what AU is doing.

Good Morning, what’s in your first cup of the day pretty much sets the tone of your day. We are honored to be able to help you do so. Some folks start the day with coffee others with tea, whichever you choose just know it’s made here with love. Thank You.

Design bridges the gap between the problems we face and the ideas we have on how to bring about change. It is agency: when you bring the foundational concepts of design to a space you are equipping people to dismantle and reassemble their realities to produce what they wish to experience in a new way.

What happens when we stop looking at what they got and nurture what we got? Silicon Valley wouldn’t even be an aspiration. When we stop trying to make it out and start making it in we put a dent in the machine built to create negative pipelines or else condition the youth that the best they can hope for lies on the other side of rejecting the space that’s forming and yes, inspiring them. When the geniuses stop being exported after being educatedwhen the visionaries don’t f...eel they have to to become machinery for capitalism in order to have valuewhen the dreamers can act on their dreams in their own homes and prototype them on their own streets then launch them in the same place without moving awaywhen there’s positive vocabulary used to define what the hood is for us like incubation space, creative hub, cultural breeding ground, innovation ecosystem, and liveablethat’s powerful. : @jaredmroyal

Meet Uncle Sarge! A man we consider to be an integral part of our neighborhood! (His)story is that of many who came to the United States from the Caribbean in pursuit of the American Dream; but we consider him to be more of a dream maker than chaser. For Sarge, Flatbush is home. One of those individuals that people just gravitate too. As belonging as the trees and the pungent smell of the New York City grind. He has a story to tell! And he will. Every time you pass his blo...ck you’ll find him perched on his throne on guard of the building he acquired after his time served in the Vietnam War. Always dressed to the nines, hair freshly cut; his eyes deep and warm. Inviting anyone willing to soak up a gem or two from the past, thus leading his community towards the future. #auntsetuncles #legacy #flatbush #communitybuilders #community #neighborhood #nyc #brooklyn #veteran

Toast To The Finer Things In Life: TIME TIME is the most valuable thing we all seem not to have. TIME is the best gift you can ever give a loved one. TIME is the real luxury, we all deserve. Make TIME, Take TIME, Cherish TIME, Give TIME. @auntsetuncles

Flashback Friday... August 26, 2020 8:49 PM... After spending the last 10 months in dust and debris the space has finally taken shape and we can see it in all its beauty. We were able to enjoy this moment before the furniture, decor, glassware, bottles and warm bodies arrived. To see the space now all dressed and blessed with amazing souls gives us so much pleasure and excitement. Amidst all the restrictions and precautions we are thriving! And the energy is pitch perfect! If you haven’t made your way or at least ordered now is the time. We have added some new treats to the menu.

It’s Currently 41 degrees in NYC . It’s times like this I would come home after school and my Grandmother would have a nice pot on the stove. Something about the way soup just warms your soul... Make sure to stop by today or order a bowl online for delivery.
