Streetlevel: Lots of Doings on Vanderbilt

We’ve haven’t been on our game in terms of reporting on Vanderbilt Avenue’s retail/food scene, and there’s a lot of catching up to do. First off, there were two new additions to the avenue over the last six months or so: This summer, the nostalgia-tinged ice-cream/coffee joint Old Brooklyn Parlor opened, and a couple months later cocktail bar Barrette joined the party. In terms of coming attractions, there are fliers posted to a storefront between St. Marks and Prospect promising the impending arrival of an organic juice/coffee joint. More exciting, however, is word that the owners of Beast are going to open a new business directly across the street from their original location. The space, which used to be filled by the store HouseBroken, is currently being renovated. Any other Vanderbilt action we’ve missed?
