A reader informed us that the Boerum Hill boutique Ouvrez La Porte, located at 105 Bond Street between Atlantic and Pacific, is shuttering its doors, making the name a little ironic. But small business seems to be relatively healthy on the block itself. Our tipster reports that two upscale clothing boutiques have opened in the last year, Paper Doll and And Then Some, and we reported on Wednesday that a new restaurant called Building on Bond opened this week on the corner of Pacific. Do you think we’ll be seeing more and more retail spill-over from Atlantic Avenue, or does Ouvrez La Porte’s fate spell bad news for the area?
