Choice Dumbo Set to Open This Week

Choice Market, which transformed the culinary landscape in Eastern Clinton Hill when it opened at the corner of Lafayette and Grand Avenues in 2006, is about to unveil its latest venture, an ambitious eatery in the bottom of the J Condo in Dumbo. Designed by architect Evan Douglis, the new place has much larger cooking and sitting areas and is designed as a community gathering place. If you live or work in the neighborhood, you’ve probably peaked through the windows already; for everyone else, we’ve got a photo of the interior on the jump. We don’t think we’re going out on a limb to say that the mix of paninis, salads, prepared entrees and pastries will be a much-needed jolt to the Dumbo dining scene. The latest word we’ve heard is that the new location should soft-open with daytime service next week. Personally, we can’t wait.
