Spotlight on Sol Sips: Black-Owned, Vegan and Community Conscious

News from The Longshoreman Bar.

We had posted a blog when we found out about our new neighbors taking over at 215 Columbia, which used to be Toby’s Public House. The Longshoreman, an Italian bistro who still has no social media or website we could find, is supposed to open sometime this fall. We wanted to post the latest news we […]

New Pizzeria Coming to Red Hook and Community Meeting!

The space right on the corner of Ferris and Van Dyke is, as you can see in the photo above, a very recognizable Red Hook space.

We are happy to have had the opportunity to ask Michelle about her new […]

Fast Food Chain Closed and New Tenants Plan Opening on Atlantic.

We are very accustomed, although saddened, to seeing small businesses close up shop only to be replaced with a Dunkin Donuts or some other chain fast food restaurant. We were not surprised to see Subway open up at 75 Atlantic years ago but still upset as we feel a chain shop puts a dent in […]

Especially if that new spot is getting good reviews! Sebastiano’s at […]
