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 OpenStreetMap is volunteer mapped and not an official register, so it is incomplete and can be out of date; those entries are labeled and colored separately from the licensed ones. Names are the ones the businesses use: the state’s doing-business-as name, or the OpenStreetMap name when the same business is mapped at that address (the registered legal name sits underneath); a licensed business that is also on OpenStreetMap appears once. Logos are pulled from each business’s own website (site logo, home screen icon, share image, or favicon, in that order); a business with no logo or no website shows an initial. New marks a liquor license whose State Liquor Authority application was filed in 2025 or 2026, from the year in the license number; that is a new business, or a new license for an existing one (a sale, a change of class, or a license that was refiled). Temporary retail permits are the ones issued while a full application is pending, so those are the newest of all. The SLA’s issue date is the date of the current license, not the year the business opened, so it is not used to judge newness. The Agriculture and Markets food store file carries no dates, so food stores without a liquor license are not dated. License files lag openings and closings.
