History
On September 16, 2022, 50 Norman opened with three stores: Dashi Okume, a dashi store; Cibone, a home design store; and House Brooklyn, an omakase restaurant.[6][7][8] The building was formerly occupied by a car repair shop and remodeled with "reclaimed woods from a demolished old house in Kyoto."[9]
In April 2025, 50 Norman expanded into an adjacent space and added Balmuda, a home appliance store, and Kama-asa, a kitchenware store. In June, House Brooklyn opened a new French-Japanese fusion café and wine bar called Cafe O'te in the space.[10]
