Two state license files, joined. The Department of Agriculture and Markets licenses every retail food store: delis, bodegas, groceries, produce stands, bakeries, supermarkets. The State Liquor Authority licenses every place that sells alcohol: bars, restaurants, liquor stores, and the grocery stores that sell beer. Brooklyn’s hardware stores are included too, and under them every other named shop, restaurant, salon, office, clinic, warehouse, hotel and service mapped on OpenStreetMap, classified by its map tag and marked as such.

Sources: New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, Retail Food Stores license file for Kings County (data.ny.gov 9a8c-vfzj), last updated by the state September 30, 2025, downloaded September 2, 2026; and NYS Liquor Authority, Current Liquor Authority Active Licenses (data.ny.gov 9s3h-dpkz), retrieved September 1, 2026. Both are placed in community districts by point in polygon against Department of City Planning boundaries. A food store is shown as also holding a liquor license only when a store or grocery class SLA license sits at the same address and the names match; bars and restaurants at the same address stay separate. Establishment codes are the agencies’ own. Hardware stores are the bkcb6.app hardware directory, addresses confirmed against the City Planning address file. Every other business comes from OpenStreetMap, Geofabrik New York extract of August 31, 2026: every named shop, amenity, leisure, craft, office, industrial, healthcare, tourism and commercial building feature inside Brooklyn, classified by its map tag, including warehouses, logistics sites and government offices; the only thing left out is bike share docks. OpenStreetMap is volunteer mapped and not an official register, so it is incomplete and can be out of date; those entries are labeled and colored separately from the licensed ones. License files lag openings and closings. Food stores only · Liquor licenses only · Mike Racioppo, Brooklyn Community Board 6.
