History

Established in 2010.

An Atlantic Avenue concept shop that does double-​duty as both a menswear store and art gallery. Mirroring the dynamism of the neighborhood around it, the shop resists any kind of commercial stasis, transforming itself over and over as new, perfectly curated wares and art fill the space.

Visiting Goose Barnacle is like stepping back into a time when hospitality and quality extended into every aspect of life, when immediacy and disposability were not virtues.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

David Alperin is a rare breed, a fourth-​generation Brooklyn Heights resident.

You may find yourself wondering «What exactly is a Goose Barnacle?» David elaborates below:

«In northwestern Spain, where my grandmother’s from, there’s a delicacy I’ve always been obsessed with. It’s a crustacean that grows on rocks in the roughest areas, where the sea crashes on the cliffs. They’re really ugly – they look like a dinosaur nail. And my grandmother would always have them waiting for me when we would go to visit her. So it’s special to me. That’s a goose barnacle.»
