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 […]

Spotlight on Fatty Daddy Tacos.

A New Textile Storefront Opens on Henry Street.

Castel is the name of the new spot at 385 Henry Street.  It’s right next door to Burlap and we thought perhaps it was connected but after checking out their website we learned it’s a different owner and this is their first Brooklyn storefront. So what is it?  Not quite sure yet it seems.  It […]
