Broccolino NYC Opening in Smith Street.

Formerly Hunter’s, and right next door to Stinky Brooklyn, is 213 Smith Street with a huge sign in the window announcing that Broccolino NYC will soon be opening in this spot.  This Italian restaurant isn’t new to the Brooklyn scene.  They have a second location near the Barclays Center on Dean Street, though food is […]

Danish Restaurant opens on Smith Street.

We blogged earlier this week about a Welsh Restaurant opening up on Smith Street.  We had never had Welsh food and thought that was a nice little addition to the Cobble Hill neighborhood.  Well, we came across Bornholm only blocks away on Smith Street. This Danish restaurant also looks delicious and I must say we’ve […]

Regular Visitors on Smith Street.

The corner space at 149 Smith Street, which used to be Bike Smith, is transforming into Regular Visitors.  Though there were workers present no one would answer are questions of what the place would become.  Is it a restaurant? A store?  Based on the layout at the moment we’re guessing a boutique of some sort […]

Cobble Hill’s New Welsh-Inspired Restaurant.

As New Yorkers we feel we’ve tried every type of food imaginable.  From Ethiopian to French Canadian.  But have you ever tried Welsh cuisine?  A new bar and restaurant just opened up on Smith Street called Sunken Hundred. Some of the dishes on the menu sounds like flavor combinations that will definitely be new to […]

Phil & Anne’s Good Time Lounge Signage.

The space at 196 Smith Street has been a foodie paradise in the past, with former tenants Char 4 doling out delicious dishes, and it will continue on that path with Phil and Anne’s Goodtime Lounge.  TV Chef Anne Burrell and Phil Casaceli plan a fall opening for the restaurant and we see that may be […]

Gersi Replaces Dosa Royale on Court Street.

So many of us were sad to see Dosa Royale shut its doors, though we are comforted by the fact that they have a location at 258 DeKalb.  The space at 316 Court Street is now inhabited by Gersi, an Italian restaurant.  The food looks good (see pics below) and the place was pretty crowded […]

Kor Tor Mor Thai on Smith Street.

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 […]

New Moroccan Home Store on Atlantic by Jane Herro.

  The stretch of Atlantic Avenue between Atlantic Terminal and the Brooklyn waterfront is home to countless great shops, restaurants and cafes. Atlas Showroom just joined the crew this month, opening it’s doors on May 12th at 141 Atlantic Ave. The new shop features traditional furnishings, such as the chair (above), divider, and mirror (below), from owner […]

High End Children’s Clothing Store Opens on Court.

Not too long ago 189 Court Street was vacant and about to become a nail salon.  That was short lived.  As of recently it’s new tenants are Jacadi Paris, a high end children’s clothing and accessories boutique.  Yes, another one.  Seems as though fancy children’s clothing shops are taking over the neighborhood.  They must do […]
