Our beloved hardware store at 1114 Bedford Avenue in Bed Stuy closed a few months ago and we were bummed. It was the cheapest around and always had salt in the coldest of winter storms. Still, I was eager to see what would happen with that space. Well, to my excitement, I found out recently […]
The spot on Columbia, which formerly housed the restaurant Orchard, now has signage! Above the door painted on the top of the metal gate it says “Handsome Drakes”. We previously reported that this place may be called DeKalb Duck bc that was the LLC name but we’re confirming otherwise. We also found out some more […]

Alexandra and Eric are constantly changing the menu to keep customers coming back! The options are similar to their catering menu that […]
The space at 204 Smith Street used to be Hop Hap and though we’ve heard that the new Thai Restaurant Kor Tor Mor is under new ownership we can’t confirm that. It is getting better reviews than Hop Hap did so something has definitely changed. Plus the look of it is also very different. With […]
We’d been meaning to try this place for a while now. It’s been open since late 2015 and has been getting great reviews since. We finally got around to it and were not disappointed. We had the spicy stewed chicken taco and the grilled fish taco and both were delicious. The signage outside the resataurant […]
This space at 126 Union Street in the Columbia Waterfront District has had many incarnations over the years. Transforming it’s interior and exterior, changing owners, changing menus and themes a few times in the last decade. This new restaurant, Cantine, looks very promising! It’s a catering company originally and the food on their Instagram looks […]
