Artisanal Gelato in Red Hook.

Here is something exciting for those of you who don’t know.  A new artisanal gelato shop, Dolce Brooklyn, has opened up at 305 Van Brunt Street.  Red Hook residents, you have surely already seen the bright red signage and have probably stopped in to try one or two or a few of their unique and […]

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 […]

First Shop Opens at Empire Stores.

The huge warehouse in DUMBO at 53-83 Water street has been slated to become Empire Stores, a giant shopping center, for a while now and we thought it would have been finished by now based on reports we’d heard earlier. They aren’t set to complete the space until 2017 but their very first shop is […]

New Restaurant Coming to Columbia Street.

We noticed walking by the vacant […]

Cafe Tekoa to Replace Ted and Honey

We were truly shocked and upset when we heard our friends over at Ted and Honey would be closing their doors.  We loved that place.  The neighborhood loved that place.  It’s such a lovely little spot on the corner of Cobble Hill Park and Clinton Street.  We are however happy to hear that the owners […]
