Way back in August, we posted about a wine bar and epicerie that was set to open on the corner of Union and Hoyt in October. For a few months, it appeared that the space was being renovated, but then it started looking vacant again. October came and went and the place never materialized. The corner seems like it would be a good location for a business, especially as Union Street becomes more of a pedestrian thoroughfare between Carroll Gardens and Park Slope — does anybody know what’s going on? Could it be that they couldn’t get a liquor license, since they’re across the street from a school and around the corner from a church?
