Streetlevel: Il Porto Nearing Launch
Il Porto, which promises to be an oasis in the culinary desert that is Wallabout, is moving steadily toward it May launch. When we passed by this week, contractors were hard at work installing the two storefront window areas at 37 Washington Avenue. Contrary to what we wrote first time around, the brick oven pizza restaurant will not be run by the same folks who ran the Brooklyn's Best Pizza in this location in recent years. It's a new crew. Given that our new office we're about to move into is just a couple of blocks from here, we're thrilled.

They should do great if the Greenway project gets built.

Make that "their" pizza. I'm a little rusty on the posting...

That is apparently the new trendy neighborhood. it is scary at nite and therefore extremely seductive to anyone who wants an ambiance resistant to yuppie/developer gentrification.

Resistant up until about a year ago. And the new condos haven't really come online yet.

"Culinary desert" and "Wallabout": yes, two phrases inextricably linked in the public mind.
