Open and Shut

Coney Island
Amusing the Zillion recently penned a sad goodbye to the boardwalk restaurant Paul’s Daughter, but that eviction seems a little less likely now. Just today the Post reported that Zamperla may ask the previously booted Coney Island businesses to stay. The deal isn’t done but it seems likely that Ruby’s, Paul’s Daughter and company may get a new lease on life due to a previous deal that fell through with Zamperla.

Park Slope
A Brooklynian commenter laments that the Italian joint Tonino’s is being replaced by a Dunkin Donuts. Plans for a sports bar on 6th Avenue are killed, says the Brooklyn Paper, after pressure from the neighbors. Here’s Park Slope finds that Vally Shepard Cheese, a dairy farm in New Jersey, are coming to 211 Seventh Avenue, between Third and Fourth Streets.

Williamsburg/Greenpoint
Eater reports that Burnside Brooklyn, a Midwestern-themed bar (huh?) opened on the corner of Grand Street and Union Avenue. Beers are mostly from the Midwest and the food is Midwest-themed, apparently. Here’s Greenpoint profiled new home goods business The One Well at 165 Greenpoint Avenue and notes that a new daycare center opened in the neighborhood this week.

Elsewhere

The Q at Parkside says the commercial space on the west side of Flatbush at Westbury Ct. in Prospect Lefferts Gardens will be selling baby supplies and kids toys. Fort Greene favorite Tillies is looking for a buyer. And the Treats Truck is going brick and mortar in Carroll Gardens.
