If you've been peeved by aspiring influencers at local restaurants, cafes or bars incessantly snapping photos and videos, then Dae in Brooklyn just might become your new favorite spot.
As reported by Clio Chang at Curbed, Dae is a new design shop and cafe that opened in Carroll Gardens this summer that has "a meticulously curated space [with] a no-laptop policy." This, though, proved to not be enough, as "hordes of influencers armed with tripods" descended up on the shop in recent months, which has led Dae to actually ban customers from taking any photos or videos in the store — with the caveat of "quick snaps" at one's own table. On their own Instagram, the store wrote that they love the food and drink photos "but the TikToks and instagram photoshoots have gotten a bit out of control for us." Many influencers and would-be influencers have dubbed the shop as being especially "aesthetic" and minimalist in design and appeal, hence its burgeoning popularity and its draw for many social media users since its opening.
