After months of renovation and back-and-forth with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, Arby’s is set to open later this month in the former Gage & Tollner space at 372 Fulton Street in the Fulton Mall, reports The Brooklyn Eagle. And speaking of Landmarks, the paper provides some details of what it was like for the un-Landmarky chain restaurant to fit into the landmarked space. I think [Landmarks] were totally correct in what they asked for, said Sheryl Pinner, one of the architects on the project. I’m sure they would have preferred an elegant white tablecloth restaruant, the way it once was, but the area’s changed.” Roast beef fans can look forward to a soft opening for the restaurant on January 21.
