The quiet and mostly residential section of Brooklyn’s Windsor Terrace doesn’t have a lot of commercial space. When a new spot opens up in the area, residents take notice. The coffee shop at 144 E 4th Street, Windsor Coffee, is already a neighborhood favorite. It gets great yelp reviews and usually has a good amount […]
A new cozy 8 seat restaurant and catering shop opened at the beginning of the summer at 187 Sackett Street between Henry and Hicks. We passed by recently, peeked in and took a sample menu (photo below). Both the interior, which we couldn’t take a proper photo of because it was dark, and the menu […]
I’m sure you have seen many empty storefronts throughout the city due to the high commercial rents. One way that many independent restaurants have been able to thrive has been through the renaissance of the food court. Many are choosing to rent a stand and a van to save on the cost of rent of […]
A new business has come to Red Hook. Not just a new business, but a different take on a still relatively new business model. Chef Journeys recently took over the old Rebuilding Together space at 285 Van Brunt Street recently. After a few months of building out they finally took down the brown paper window coverings […]
Long-awaited Velvette Brew opened last week and it was worth the wait. I stopped by and met Keirell, who told me they’re doing a soft open with coffee, tea, and pastries, and plan to expand the menu with light snacks soon. After trying dozens of brands, Velvette Brew went with organic Intelligentsia beans for all their […]
A new wine bar and restaurant just opened at 244 Smith Street called Big Tiny. You may be able to guess that it’s named after the size of dishes it offers. On the menu, which you can view photos of in our gallery below, they have a section for “big bites” and “tiny bites”. They […]
Right across the street from the Smith and 9th Street subway stop is a corner storefront that used to house Kimchi Grill. This little kimchi-centric restaurant was really yummy but unfortunately they closed shop a short while ago. Whenever we pass by a vacant space we wonder what will be the next business that opens […]
The Columbia Street restaurant row is gaining yet another delicious-looking spot. Toby’s Public House just opened up in the spring and with a new season comes a new opening. We can expect Popina, a neighborhood Italian restaurant, to open up this summer. The awning is already up at the old Pok Pok spot at 127 […]
For three years in the large space at 412 Court Street, Dover wowed diners and critics alike with it’s creative and exquisite cuisine. The owners, who also own Battersby at 255 Smith Street, created an upscale menu for the new place with an optional seven-course tasting menu. We visited the restaurant a few years back […]
Every once in a while we like to spotlight a local business that is relatively new. Never has it felt more appropriate to spotlight an establishment as it does with Boudoir Bar on Atlantic. Why you ask? The place is literally hidden underground. At 135 Atlantic Avenue you must down stairs under french restaurant Chez Moi […]
