Hodge Podge Lodge, a pop-up shop, is now open for the holidays in the Williamsburg space formerly occupied by Bedford Cheese, which moved to new digs up the street this fall. The new shop–which will only be open through the holidays–features, well, a hodge podge of goods from handcrafted garments to art. The emphasis in the small space is on Brooklyn-made goods (hip and handpainted shirt, etc.) and on vintage kitsch. (Want a piece of mom’s old Pyrex decorated with flowers?) There’s a selection of plastic cameras for Holga-philes, and silk-screen wall hangings that go for $300-$600.
After New Years?
The space will morph into its latest iteration: A “high end” beer shop. Bring on the Trappist Triple brewed in an obscure monastery near Antwerp, please. Oh, sorry, that’s Spuyten Duyvil.
