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 […]

The Gardens of Columbia Waterfront.

The Columbia waterfront District boasts several community gardens.  We count seven, which is a whole lot for such a small area.  This is actually where Carroll Gardens gets it’s name.  What many of us now call Columbia Waterfront used to be considered Carroll Gardens, named so for the community plots located practically every other block […]

Spotlight on Blossom Ice Cream.

A new(ish) ice cream spot has opened on Court Street in the old Blue Marble space.  It’s called Blossom and it’s not only delicious but also very unique.  If you notice in the pic above the ice cream is rolled up like little wraps.  What happens is you pick your flavor (key lime pie for […]

New Restaurant Coming to Columbia Street.

We were very sad to see Orchard close at 257 Columbia Street.  The food was good, the atmosphere was tranquil, and the staff was friendly.  Many who worked out of our Columbia Street office would go there for lunch often, especially Mary who’d get coffee and food there daily. We noticed walking by the vacant […]
