It’s the end of a deep-fried era in Boerum Hill—sort of. Signs have gone up on the shuttered New St. Claire Restaurant at Smith and Atlantic announcing that the Costas Family has exited the eatery game after “forty wonderful years.” The St. Claire, which closed on Monday, hasn’t served its last burger, though. According to an article in the Brooklyn Paper, the owner of the Carroll Gardens Classic Diner on Smith between Wyckoff and Bergen is expanding his empire. New proprietor Spiro Katehis plans to renovate the St. Claire over the next few months before reopening it. Katehis says he intends to serve the same sort of food but make the space “a little more trendy, make it feel more like a part of the street.”
