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 […]

Last Night to Dine In Brooklyn.

Do you have dinner plans tonight?  If not you should really take advantage of Dine In Brooklyn.  Tonight is your last night to get a $28 pre-fixe at one of the hundreds of restaurants around Brooklyn participating in the 2 1/2 week event.  It’s a great time to try a restaurant you’ve never been to […]

Update on New Restaurant Coming to Columbia Street.

The spot on Columbia, which formerly housed the restaurant Orchard, now has signage!  Above the door painted on the top of the metal gate it says “Handsome Drakes”.  We previously reported that this place may be called DeKalb Duck bc that was the LLC name but we’re confirming otherwise.  We also found out some more […]

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 […]

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.

We’d been meaning to try this place for a while now.  It’s been open since late 2015 and has been getting great reviews since. We finally got around to it and were not disappointed.  We had the spicy stewed chicken taco and the grilled fish taco and both were delicious.  The signage outside the resataurant […]

Westville coming to DUMBO.

Westville, a restaurant that focuses on fresh ingredients and has many many veggie options on their menus, is coming to Brooklyn! This place is delicious and very well received. Right now they have a few locations in Manhattan and a spot in Dumbo that will be opening soon. We passed by the sign on Washington […]
